There are few marred huge margins for white voters. Hard to win statewide, even in a state with a strong minority population. The democratic chair of the white vote was down share of the white vote was down since 2008. That is a problem for the problem. For the party. There are still a lot of white voters here. Back to your point about the specific candidate you cant take anything for granted. We want to talk about statelevel Ballot Initiatives as well as some a local elections, and measures at local levels, but i want to make sure we have time for a couple of questions right now. As far as the gubernatorial elections or the state elections, yes . As far as the demographics, the republicans were mores bread out the republicans were more spread out, what is the distribution . How did the distribution affect this years races . One reason is we thought that this year was not going to be a wave of election is because republicans would have the rural vote and places like kansas. We talk abo
Neutrality applies only to the internet providers. It doesnt provide to any of the other alleged gate keepers that tim has talked about. And i think its worth thinking through what happens when you mandate neutrality on one part of one level of this internet eco system, but cant or dont on others. Theres this recent dispute between you tube and independent artists who are not getting free access on you tube y more unless they pay for expedition of their videos. Theres any number of examples. And amazon and their authors are another example. There are any number who are as much gate keepers if comcast is a gate keeper for an author, amazon is as much as one for an independent artist. You can think of thousands of examples like that. And that creates two sort of important and counter vailing points that really have to be considered here. On the one hand it means that ain i mentioned bob lob logs law blog it would be really easy except that bob la isnt whats his name in arrested developme
The field and youre playing a different sport. You go wow. Today it is soccer. Tomorrow it is baseball. It is that stunning of a difference. You no longer are going to be able to protect your ability to one thing and go out there and it is going to be very frustrating to people and that is why the structures and roles of leaders are going to be so dramatically different. To re they are going catch themselves looking at headlights and they are going to get run over. A question for about relations. Some people think it is an institutional issue. Some people think it is personal relationships that you have talked about so much. Im curious, where do you think t falls on both . Yeah, well, i think they are related. If you go back in history and look at what president lincoln put together and we remember how good it was when he and ulysses s. Grant the last couple of years of the war, it took some painful years to get to that. I think that ultimately it takes really good relationships. It ta
Certainly makes you think about it very carefully and watching the film on women and womens right is what is this reconciliation all about. And that is about an afghanistan that works with the rule of law and that supports the rights and responsibilities of all citizens, but particularly women. On the questions of reconciliation im sure they are still high on the administrations agenda but the principles remain very much the same. The second point you asked me to talk about our the elections. Hes done a wonderful job on that. Two things that are important to me. One is what is the outcome here and it is an election that is seen by most afghans as legitimate and a leader as someone they can say here is someone we can support Going Forward into second being appointed ambassador made that the United States has no favorites and has no candidates in this and the election is a matter for the people of afghanistan.

From our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. Jessica matthews is here. She is president of the Carnegie Endowment for international peace, a Global Think Tank headquartered in washington. The Obama Administration Foreign Policy is in the spotlight right now. Some have criticized it as feckless and is engaged. Typically, criticism of our Foreign Policy has been directed at the failure to use military force. And the question that i would have is, why is everyone is so eager to use military force . For some reason, many who are proponents of what i consider to be a disastrous decision to go into iraq havent really learned the lesson of the last decade. Why . I dont know.

I am pleased to have Jessica Matthews back at this table. Welcome. Thank you. And i confess, she is a great friend and i adore he
