It will also be interesting to see if this strengthens McCain--already surging-- on the Republican side.   Or whether his position on immigration--that of a reasonable man--is still poison for the Republican true believers. (And even some Mudcatters, of the Tancredo-Lou Dobbs school).


In Pakistan it's hard to see anything for the foreseeable future but--dangerous--chaos. The prospect of which will of course strengthen Musharraf.
