Some of the moneymen who attended the D.C. sessions, however, remain loyal to other probable '08 contenders. Several who spoke to TIME said that while they are happy to help Clinton in 2006, they are leery of a presidential bid. A few cited the Senator's high unfavorable ratings in national polls, ratings that have held for some time now above 40%.

But the sectarian upsurge has also highlighted the troubling extent to which many of the men in the most capable Iraqi security units remain loyal to ethnic and sectarian agendas. Shi'ite leader al-Hakim, for instance, had initially blamed the Samarra bombing in part on Khalilzad's pressure on his party to relinquish control of the Interior Ministry, which controls some 110,000 police and paramilitary personnel-many of whom are drawn from...
...employees. It's always the blue-collar workers who are first deemed expendable. But what Ford really needs to take a look at is its designs. My family has owned nothing but Ford and Lincoln vehicles since my father began working at Ford, but now even loyal consumers are looking elsewhere. Megan Norris Chicago...
