I’m back home in Pennsylvania and I’m pretty fried. It’s amazing how much you can lose feel for the state of the race just by getting off the 24-hour news cycle for a few days. I haven’t seen any political television coverage since last Tuesday and I haven’t read even a third of the horse-race articles that have been written since then. I just spent a little time catching up and it seems like the McCain campaign is reeling from the news that Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki essentially endorsed Obama’s plan for Iraq. Perhaps a million people are going to show up on Thursday in Berlin to see Obama give an historic speech at the Siegessäule. I don’t want to get cocky but I suspect that John McCain will soon regret his challenge to Barack Obama to travel abroad during the campaign. There’s also no explanation for why Czechoslovakia was not placed on Obama’s itinerary. McCain is quite fond of that country and speaks of it often…almost as if, like Iraq’s fabled WMD program, it exists.
