On the road today for a conference on the 2008 elections at the Dole Institute, which is affiliated with the University of Kansas. I'll be bringing you more from here later today and tomorrow, where there will be a series of panels featuring speakers who were directly involved in the campaigns, and others, like myself.

In the meantime, this bald eagle was perched right outside my hotel room window this morning on the banks of the Kansas River. Pardon the cell phone cam quality.
