...Georgia, it's almost as if the election hasn't ended. National political heavyweights like Bill Clinton, John McCain, Sarah Palin and Al Gore have stormed through the state to remind its citizens that history is still at stake. On Tuesday, Georgia goes to the polls to decide a seat that could inch Democrats closer to a 60-seat, filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. The prospect of such a legislative advantage has the Republican incumbent in this red-leaning state billing himself as as the final "firewall" against the agenda of Barack Obama...

It's that Jones is a longtime friend of Senator John McCain, the man Obama defeated to win the White House. While many prior Democratic national security advisers - think Anthony Lake under Clinton - have been academics or policy wonks, Obama's choice of Jones highlights his centrist tendency and his willingness to confound his party. It will be Jones' job to serve as a foreign-policy broker...
