The meme of MCain being the "expert" in foreign politics could be reinforced today, check the 2 Obama/MCain related news in yahoo's front page
McCain:
McCain: Russia should immediately cease action in Georgia
Obama:
Obama family heads to Hawaii, campaign stays home
:(
more below the fold
I have been watching the South Ossetian conflict since this morning and I didn't like to see the first commentary on it to appear on the media being the McCain one, a couple of hours later the headline changed to (paraphrased) "McCain/Obama call for restraint in South Ossetia", now is back to only McCain and worse, a link to a Obama on vacation news item is on the front page too.
Now, did the McCain's campaign staff beat Obama's to the punch here, if so they should take note so they aren't surprised by the next FP crisis.
Also, what can we do now to fix the damage?.
