Top Foreign Issue: Israel/Palestine Talks

Today’s Keyword/Theme: Surprise

Sarah Palin’s influence in Alaska might be greater than some commentators thought. Her candidate, Joe Miller, seems to be beating Lisa Murkowski 51-49%. This is happening after polls showed that Palin’s influence was limited. Meanwhile, Israel says that most likely an agreement with the Palestinians will not happen within one year. Not a total surprise, but the confidence level for going into the talks is not high. The U.S. must be more aggressive on this issue.
