...what if she faces a rival who spoke eloquently against the Iraq war from the first--yet also has a hawkish national security record? What if that man has substantial experience at the highest levels of government--and can also raise plenty of money as a candidate? What if he ran for President once before--and won the popular vote? Clinton undoubtedly dreams occasionally about the fates of Ed Muskie and John Kerry. But if she stays awake at night, it's because she's worrying about Al Gore...

...DIED. Bulent Ecevit, 81, former Prime Minister of Turkey; in Ankara. First appointed Premier in 1974, Ecevit held the position four more times over the next 30 years. A left-leaning nationalist, Ecevit's reforms at home were overshadowed by his hawkish foreign policy. Despite international opposition, Ecevit ordered Turkish troops into Cyprus in 1974 following a Greek-backed coup. His intervention split the island in two, and led to decades of deadlock with Greece...
