Susan Estrich: It Should Be a Democratic Year

Politics – July polls don't tell you who's going to win in November. Just ask President Dukakis or President Gore, both of whom were well ahead in July and went on to lose in the fall (although Mr. Gore still doesn't quite see it that way).

Dr. Susan Rice Bashes McCain on Afghanistan Policy

Politics – After years of denying it was a problem, McCain woke up and discovered Afghanistan, but has no credible plan. He wants to surge in Afghanistan without reducing troops in Iraq, which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says is impossible. He wants to balance our budget through troop withdrawals which he opposes. The whole thing is illogical.
