...this has combined to make the governability of Pakistan and the character of its latest leader matters of intense concern far from the mountains of the Hindu Kush. Al-Qaeda has "hundreds of training camps" scattered throughout the region, says a Western official in Pakistan. CIA director Michael Hayden has called FATA an al-Qaeda "safe haven" that presents a "clear and present danger to Afghanistan, to Pakistan and to the West in general, and to the United States in particular."

An ABC News poll found that half the country believes Palin is unprepared for the vice presidency, a concern that may be more crucial in light of McCain's age. Some critics found her too mean or too right-wing. Over the next two months she will either sweeten or sour with the public, but certainly she will shrink, as the country focuses on the presidential debates. What McCain needed now was a jolt to awaken his own party...
