The pros' projections were even bleaker than I expected--this was the first time Ihad heard top operatives openly conceding that the Democrats' control of Congress was at risk in the fall midterms.
If thishad been the Ryder Cup, I would have expected Garcia to have turned up the heat and played some of the flamboyant shots we know he is capable of, but perhaps they are taking it easy.
The protesters outside - far fewer than had been expected thanks to the weather - won't like it but the message was this: I've changed the minister, don't take that as a sign that I'm about to change the policy.
