...thinks that. So obviously factors other than merit deserve our consideration when we decide for whom to vote. Starting with "Does he or she share my vision of the country?" (For example, "Will he appoint Justices less likely to cite bromides about color blindness as if that settled everything?") But beyond this, the President is unavoidably a symbol, and a presidential candidate's "essential qualities" include his or her race...
...soggy climes certainly have not dampened soaring couture fantasies. John Galliano gave the house of Dior a rocking 60th anniversary salute with an over-the-top high drama collection that included 45 supermodels, each decked out as a vision of an artist who had somehow touched Christian Dior's life and spirit.

McCain and others believe, with some justification, that if the Petraeus counterinsurgency tactics had been adopted three years ago, the U.S.-led coalition might have had a shot. But now it seems likely that Petraeus will suffer the same fate in Baghdad...
