...gunman stood sentry near the gates of the compound, waiting for an opening as the departing motorcade approached. Inside a luxury suv was Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan, who had come to Kandahar to attend his brother's wedding. His security detail, a clutch of U.S. commandos, rode in a separate vehicle. Karzai was on his way out of the compound of Gul Agha Sherzai, Kandahar's provincial governor, who sat beside him in the car, when he was approached by an Afghan youth hoping to meet the President.

He knows he can't win unless minority voters turn out strongly, but he also needs white votes. As he steered his SUV into the parking lot of a Dallas chop house last week, Kirk insisted he's one candidate who doesn't have to make that a choice: "I bring a lot more to the table than a nice historic testament to how much the state has changed...
