Sam -

I didn't think that "faux pas" was really a mistake at all. Saying that you will talk to other heads of state without preconditions doesn't mean that there would be no preparatory diplomacy whatsoever. To me it just means that you won't try to force other nations to do your bidding before actually sitting down to talk to them.

I can see why the other candidates would jump on the statement and try to spin it the way they did, but I don't agree with their spin.

Obama's close to having my vote as well.
