High political comedy from today's NYT

As his Democratic rival, Senator Barack Obama, met one-on-one with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the Middle East on Wednesday, Mr. McCain went on an awkward grocery-shopping trip with a mother and two children in a Pennsylvania supermarket and held a news conference at the dairy case. And as Mr. Obama spoke to a rousing crowd of more than 200,000 in Berlin on Thursday, Mr. McCain had a bratwurst lunch with the owner of a car dealership and other local business people at a German restaurant in Columbus.

“I am again deeply disappointed that Senator Obama would not recognize the fact that the surge has succeeded,” Mr. McCain said in typical, now-daily comments before the refrigerated case of cheese in Bethlehem, Pa.
