Graham gets an A

From The New Republic, after flunking Edwards on the same issue (BTW, this is posted FYI, not for the sake of advocacy.)

NOW, THAT'S INTELLIGENCE
by Jonathan Cohn

Candidate: Bob Graham
Category: Foreign Policy
Grade: A

Per the previous item, this seemed like an apt occasion to revisit just what Bob Graham had to say back in October, 2002, while the Senate was debating the resolution giving President Bush a blank-check to attack Iraq: "...the briefings I have received have shown that trying to block and any necessary nuclear materials have been largely successful ... And he is years away from having nuclear capability."

If the weapons or some evidence of a pressing threat do turn up, we'll re-grade Graham down. Absent that, though, give Graham a big fat "A."

1. Graham finally being taken seriously?

About time. Somebody should have listened to him back then. We should pay attention to him now, too, IMO.

I'd like to know what Bob thinks about North Korea, myself. Is it real or is it hyped? Now we can't trust anything anymore.

To the The New Republic Primary, a scorecard by the journalists of all the candidates. Kinda interesting.

3. So much good news starting to flow for Bob!

We've been starved for so long with the closed and punitive media, and now I can smell yeast bread, smoked picnic shoulder and baked beans! Making GOOD progress!

Workday #379 (July 5, 2003):
Senator Graham with workday co-worker Dick Norris on the Conway, NH Scenic Railroad

Way to go, working man BOB!!

4. As a Floridan

It would make me proud to see Graham get the Democratc nomination. He did so much for the State of Florida when he was our Govenor.

Edited for spelling.
