FLASHPOINT for Jul 10, 2007

Tuesday, July 10, 2007 | 6:58 a.m.

Sometimes you can change the world. If you are skeptical of Bono's ONE campaign to fight global poverty and disease, notice how the political universe here shifted last week. Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley and GOP Rep. Jon Porter, who once ran against each other, joined to co-chair the ONE Vote campaign to engage the presidential candidates on these issues. Thanks to Bono, Berkley moves in mysterious ways and could put aside her partisanship, and Porter still hasn't found what he's looking for but could say he had for ONE day. Adding to the beauty of the moment was the recently announced decision by Berkley's husband, Larry Lehrner, to forgo a challenge to Porter. On second thought, maybe that is what Porter was looking for.
