Painting a (literal) target on his opponent is McCain’s winning strategy now.

As you are no doubt aware, Barack Obama is scheduled to make a trip to Europe and the Middle East in the upcoming week. Obviously, with a full entourage and a passel of reporters accompanying him, it’s kinda hard for the Senator from IL to just slip into a country unnoticed.
However,
The Obama campaign has tried to cloak the Illinois senator’s trip in some measure of secrecy for security reasons. The White House, State Department and Pentagon do not announce senior officials’ visits to Iraq in advance. link
John McCain, on the other hand, saw fit to helpfully inform the entire world, including potential suicide bombers, of Barack Obama’s probable whereabouts this weekend.
“I believe that either today or tomorrow — and I’m not privy to his schedule — Sen. Obama will be landing in Iraq with some other senators” who make up a congressional delegation, McCain told a campaign fund-raising luncheon.
Oh but,
“I am sure that Sen. Obama is going to arrive in Baghdad in a much, much safer and secure environment than the one that he would’ve encountered before we started the surge,” McCain said.
Sure John. And you were just doing your part to make him and the rest of his delegation that much safer and more secure.
