After the VP debate last night, many pundits felt that nothing would move the electorate more than two issues that were discussed last night:

1. The Economy, and
2. Women's rights

Bloomberg News has this excellent piece detailing several indices that point to a much stronger economic recovery than many economists had predicted.

Titled " Surprise Jack Welch Missed Shows Better U.S. Growth" the article's money quote is

The name Benjamin Lawsky shouldn't be new to members of Kos. His nailing Standard Chartered Bank of UK with a $ 340 million fine for money laundering for Iran has been the subject of excellent diaries by 8ackgr0und N015e and by Christian Dem in NC.

Past President Musharaff making overtures and hinting at a repeated Kargill-type war with India. Indian elections due April/May, and the Indian press sounding agitated.

Will General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani back off his assurance that he will remove the Pakistani Army from its politics?

Follow me after the jump.... (I have deliberately quoted lengthy portions of various articles to give Kos readers a better feel for the current situation in Pakistan)

The Race to the White House Press release states:

"Race for the White House with David Gregory" will feature reports from MSNBC and NBC News correspondents around the country with the latest breaking political news and in-depth analysis of the campaigns.

The operative words to me are "IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS" and "CAMPAIGNS"....

Is this what Gregory is doing?

I can think of more than 10 reasons why Obama should not debate Hillary - on Faux, MSNBC or CNN.

Too many diaries and comments on the pros and cons.

The vast majority of the country is now convinced on the futility of the Iraq war.

At least 200 more US sons and daughters (and a few thousand Iraqis) will die over the next 3 months before the Administration changes tack in Iraq - untolds scores will be injured. Read More
