In a fund-raising speech Bill Clinton said the elections of Nov. 3 are a referendum on Obama, the health care bill, and our progressive agenda.

BOSTON — It’s been 11 years since I looked through a photo album smuggled out of Afghanistan by a brave young woman. “This is a doctor,” she said, pointing to one picture. “This is a teacher.” It was impossible to tell one woman from another under the burqas enforced by their Taliban rulers.
