I haven’t decided whether my new location is making fun of Obama sycophants, or declaring myself one. Maybe both. ---

Well, Obama’s foreign trip is going well. Bush’s decision to open limited diplomatic ties to Iran, and Maliki’s semi-endorsement of Obama’s troop withdrawal plan, seem to have undercut McCain’s claim to foreign-policy stalwartness. The polls and the Electoral College math look good for the Dems. Any other Dopers want to jump on the bandwagon?
