Starting on Aug. 8, China staged the Olympics -- an event on the schedule for years. Also on Aug. 8, Russia invaded the independent republic of Georgia -- which apparently caught our government flatfooted.

John Kerry, and the author of The Candy Bombers . One of the great misconceptions of political junkies and historians alike is that Harry Truman won reelection in 1948 with a "Give 'Em Hell" campaign of populist economics and paeans to the New Deal. Or that he won because of the farm crisis or by appealing to labor voters. Or that he won because, in the famous quote, Thomas Dewey looked like the little man on the wedding cake. All these, it is true, played a part. But, as I write in The Candy Bombers: The Untold Story of the Berlin Airlift and America's Finest Hour , it turns out that Harry Truman won in 1948 on the issue of national security -- by exploiting a very real fear of war. The 1948 campaign was the first modern campaign in so many ways and some of the ways in which national security was used in 1948 could be ripped from the political noise of our post-9/11 campaigns. Today it is jihadism, then it was communism. The RNC chair at the time said Americans had a choice "basically between Communism and Republicanism" and that the Democratic Party's heart had been captured by "a radical group devoted to Sovietizing the United States." Republican campaign pamphlets showed the Democratic donkey wearing a turban decorated with a hammer and sickle. Harry Truman got in on the act and continually castigated Dewey and the Republicans as tools of the Communist Party. Even with the current economic difficulties, Americans look to the President first and foremost as the Commander-in-Chief. Democrats have to be able to show their bona fides on national security in 2008, just as they did in 1948.
