About the next serious foreign policy issues being China, Russia, and Pakistan, I didn't mean to imply McCain was prepared but Clinton and Obama were not. Only that the landscape would shift and our judgment calls as to who was most prepared now would be a bit more irrelevant. It looks to me that McCain is far more likely to see foreign policy issues as military issues than the Dems and strikes me as lacking the even temper one needs in a president. My own bet is that Obama will differ from Clinton's approach but in ways we don't know now and, of course, will never know because we won't know how she would deal with them from the oval office. (Unless, of course, the present electoral trends reverse themselves.) I particularly like his emphasis on dealing with the "loose nukes" issue as one of high priority. I don't recall ever seeing Clinton give it much emphasis. I've got an early meeting in the morning. But will stay up for the debate and the post mortems and the post post mortems. So I'll be staggering around tomorrow.
