Lots of jealousy at work about all the publicity. McCain's trips to the same places didn't garner the same level of attention, did they? He did indeed suggest the Obama trip, though. The other funny thing is the complaints about the support team that have been helping Obama book up on foreign policy and international relations. McCain has a similar team of experts in his camp, too, to help him buff up. He's no foreign policy wonk, either, as he has freely admitted. He's been working hard at polishing up those same skills with a team of his own tutors.

So did Dubya. Sadly in Dubya's case, he never learned a lick from one of them.

I'm about ready for some vice presidential announcements! I'm putting money on Bobby Jindal for McCain. He's young, smart and he can help carry the south. I don't know who it'll be for Obama. For a while I thought Hillary and for a while John Edwards. Now I don't know. The Texas Dems still want Hillary real bad. The Latino vote here loves her.
