...only March, and a significant Perry stumble or major scandal could yet impact the race. Focus and discipline will be crucial in what will be a long, hot summer. Old Democratic hands like Garry Mauro, the gubernatorial candidate who was crushed at the polls by then governor George W. Bush, are warning White that he must define himself early, before Perry does, and not let Republicans tie him to Washington, a tactic that mortally wounded the campaign of Hutchison in her primary run against the governor. But that mantra has already begun, with the Perry camp dubbing White an Obama...
...that he's earnest; I feel like he's being honest with me and not telling me what I want to hear," says Steve Strodtman, a lifelong Republican in the town of Columbia, where some 75 people gathered recently to hear him speak.

...Less than three months later, there was another breakthrough. On Sept. 17, Obama scrapped the Bush Administration's plan to build a missile shield in Eastern Europe, which had been seen by Russia as a blatant military threat.

But time and elections will correct that problem; Israel has a higher approval rating these days than does President Obama." And the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee, to which all major leaders of both parties traditionally declare their unstinting support for Israel, expressed "serious concern...
...goal of winning agreement on a two-state solution. While a broad array of Israelis are either totally against dividing Jerusalem or want to expand Israeli settlements ahead of any peace deal, no country in the world - including the U.S. - recognizes East Jerusalem as Israeli territory. (Even George W. Bush, America's most ardently pro-Israel President, refrained from moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.) This disagreement between friends wasn't a big deal as long as there was an Israeli government committed to achieving peace based on the 1967 borders, or a U.S. Administration - like Bush...
