– What a difference a change of leadership makes: Australia has ended combat operations in Iraq. With luck, we should be following them, in gradual steps, by this time next year.
– Hillary Clinton’s trying one last effort to grab superdelegates from Obama, but the handwriting’s on the wall: Members of her advance staff received calls and emails Sunday evening from her campaign headquarters summoning them to New York City Tuesday night, and telling them their roles on the campaign are ending. Since a campaign’s advance staff is responsible for arranging the candidate’s events around the country, this is a sign that Senator Clinton herself doesn’t anticipate a need for any more candidate events, since up to now she’d been running a full campaign schedule despite being around $30 million in debt, mainly to herself. (Hat tip to Al Giordano at The Field.)
– Who knew? Men prefer being single to being in bad marriages. So do women, at least the ones I know. I’ve always wondered what the impact of higher life expectancies has been on the willingness to wed.
