...Univision debate showed the growing power of Latino voters; it also showed how that group - which has the potential to swing electorally crucial states like Florida, Nevada and New Mexico - is trending increasingly Democratic. Univision invited all of the G.O.P. candidates to the same forum next week. But only one, Senator John McCain of Arizona, accepted the invitation and the debate has been indefinitely postponed...
...Patrick said in a press release announcing the appointment on August 22.

"No, they haven't been taken off the terrorism list," he said. And with that, it was Groundhog Day again: the dispute gives the North another reason to dither and dissemble should it so choose. "It can argue that it agreed...
...Just what that means for Capt. Hemming remains to be seen. As he departed Iraq, en route to a quick refueling stop on the island of Diego Garcia before continuing on to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Sydney, Bush brought a small group of reporters up to the conference room at the head of the Air Force One. Its long, oval table, white wall-to-wall carpeting and large flat-screen TV were the converse of the dusty, bare camp the President had just left. I asked him if any service members other than Hemming had raised concerns...
