JENNIFER RUBIN: McCain Follows Obama Overseas: “I think the remarkable part of the first day of coverage wasn’t the Maliki muddle, but the degree to which McCain successfully inserted himself into the debate and, even from home, kept pushing and counterpunching Obama. . . . His foreign policy message did break through: his surge worked.” Did McCain really do that good a job? He’ll have to do more of that in coming months if he expects to win.
