Good news today - Former Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska wrote an opinion piece in the Denver Post praising Obama's plan for Iraq:

First Read has the story on McCain and his surrogates repeating already-disproved attacks on Obama. These attacks have been discounted by such nonpartisan organizations as FactCheck.org:

Finally, Jonathan Chait in The New Republic has a piece that asks why Democratic candidates for president are always seen as the flip-floppers (as we have seen, John McCain has done plenty of flip flopping of his own):

Looks like the polls haven't changed much since Obama's trip abroad. What can we do to help dispel the image of Obama as an "arrogant elitist who thinks he's already President", as I've seen one news item put it?
