Andy Olmsted  —  Andrew Olmsted, who also posted here as G'Kar, was killed yesterday in Iraq.  Andy gave me a post to publish in the event of his death; the last revisions to it were made in July.  —  Andy was a wonderful person: decent, honorable, generous, principled, courageous, sweet, and very funny.

Final Post  —  “I am leaving this message for you because it appears I must leave sooner than I intended.  I would have preferred to say this in person, but since I cannot, let me say it here."  —  G'Kar, Babylon 5  —  “Only the dead have seen the end of war."  —  Plato*
David Montero / Rocky Mountain News:
Rocky blogger Major Andrew Olmsted killed in Iraq  —  He was the first casualty for 2008 in Iraq.  And a small part of Maj. Andrew Olmsted likely would've chuckled at that fact.  It would be droll and play into his sense of self-deprecation.  —  But for everyone else, the news would be devastating.
Ben Smith / The Politico:
Bill Clinton takes a swipe at media  —  Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media's coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go negative on Barack Obama.  —  He also expressed his frustration that his wife is perceived …

Will N.H. Be Obama Territory, Too?  —  NASHUA, N.H. — There was a sense of urgency in Hillary Clinton's voice when she opened her first post-Iowa rally in an airplane hangar early Friday morning — and a look of concern on the face of the man who introduced her, former President Bill Clinton.
Foon Rhee / Boston Globe:
Clinton reaches for the right argument  —  Former President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton listen to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at a rally this morning in Nashua, N.H.  —  By Marcella Bombardieri, Globe Staff  —  NASHUA, N.H. — The 9/11 card.  The legacy card.  The trial-by-fire card.
New York Times:
A Campaign Retools to Seek Second Clinton Comeback  —  MANCHESTER, N.H. — Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton have been in career-threatening scrapes before, but never quite like the one they face in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, when nothing less than their would-be dynasty will be on the line.

Jay Newton-Small / TIME: Swampland:
Hillary Booed at NH Democratic Party Dinner  —  If the New Hampshire Democratic Party's 100 Club dinner is any bell weather - Barack Obama will handily win here.  When Obama, the dinner's last speaker, took the stage the crowd surged forward chanting “O-bam-a” and “Fired Up, Ready to Go!”
Charles Peters / Washington Post:
Judge Him by His Laws  —  People who complain that Barack Obama lacks experience must be unaware of his legislative achievements.  One reason these accomplishments are unfamiliar is that the media have not devoted enough attention to Obama's bills and the effort required to pass them …

Joe Klein / Time:
Obama's Historic Victory  —  Barack Obama's first words after winning the Iowa caucus were intended for history and they were gorgeous: “They said this day would never come."  Perhaps he was thinking small.  Perhaps he was thinking about the long days in July and August and September …

Bill Gertz / Washington Times:
Inside the Ring  —  Inside the Ring  —  Coughlin sacked  —  Stephen Coughlin, the Pentagon specialist on Islamic law and Islamist extremism, has been fired from his position on the military's Joint Staff.  The action followed a report in this space last week revealing opposition to his work …
The Corner:
Obama: Ecstasy & Agony  —  This is just a late Friday night prediction.  But after reading this regrettable excess from Ezra Klein as well as all of the more reasonable but nonetheless hopeful, proud, idealistic and sincere sentiments of pride and well-wishing for Obama as the first serious …

Kevin Drum / Washington Monthly:
THE FEVER SWAMP....Former Dan Quayle speechwriter Lisa Schiffren is.....what?  To be admired for laying her psyche so bare in public?  To be pitied for having the psyche she apparently has?  I'm not sure.  But here she is today at The Corner: … As long as we're laying our cards on the table …

Helping Huck  —  I am informed that Dick Morris and Newt Gingrich are helping Huckabee behind the scenes.  Morris has been everywhere today promoting Huckabee.
Brad / Sadly, No!:
Feel the Love  —  Remember those heady days after the 2004 presidential elections when liberals were chided as coastal elites who were being punished by the electorate for mocking the heartland and its treasured traditional values?  Remember when those folksy Christian Midwesterners …
LowerManhattanite / Group News Blog:
Pride and Palpitations  —  Obama Iowa Victory photo via CBS News  —  (Special thanks to Hubris Sonic for his stellar blow-by-blow coverage last night)  —  Oh, let's see.  —  It was around eleven p.m. last night when we did “the TV switch” here at “Stately LM Manor".
