I used to watch that show on the local PBS affiliate, but I never saw anyone get the magic word.
Exactamundo, and he is handing the election to Obama by goading him to go to Iraq to go see success for himself (and his media circus). The Iraq campaign is done thanks to Bush and Petraeus and a new surge in Afghanistan is unfolding. Obama can say he didn't support the surge in Iraq and wants a troop withdrawal over time to focus combat power in Afghanistan, which is in the early stages of happening now anyway.
McCain's one and only campaign "strength" has been sucked out from under him by his own poorly played hand by giving Obama a giant free pass to re-frame Bush's current execution of the war in his own image while he's "on the ground". The ineptitude of the McCain campaign for encouraging Obama to go global and steal his one and only discriminator is just stunning.
