Rush was just talking about this...how it’s the little stuff that sends out big red flags. Rush says Barry was just an innocent citizen walking through the streets of Berlin who just happened to see a crowd and make a speech. But to go see the troops...that would be a campaign event.

This international tour-de-force is turning into a massive disaster. The "Ich bin ein Beginner" speech was not as well received as it may have been, as it was rather vapid and scaled in generalities. It may have appealed to the Germans, but it kind of fell flat in heartland America. The Photo Op at the Western Wall, which included campaign posters (in Hebrew!), followed by the hissy fit about not being allowed photo ops at Landstuhl Medical Center, all begins to pile up.

And the relative failure to get a bump in the polls back home has to be a worrying indication.

Not too late to call for a conference of the Superdelegates, the Democrats' own House of Lords, to shift their votes en masse to the candidate who can still pull it out of the fire for the team.
