The Daily Bric-a-Brac: Road Trip!

More McCain overseas travel: he'll go to Colombia and Mexico next month. Still no word on when Barack Obama will travel to Iraq, although -- just guessing -- it's probably going to be sooner, rather than later, and it will not be announced in advance.

The DNC says that Michelle Obama will keynote their Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council (GLLC) Gala at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City this Thursday.

The American Federation of Teachers unanimously endorsed Barack Obama today.

There's plenty of buzz in town about Kay Bailey Hutchison's new communications adviser -- Rich Galen, formerly with Fred Thompson's presidential campaign, the Bush White House, the RNC, and Newt Gingrich's shop. Mr. Galen is on paid staff as a "senior adviser" and is said to be a prevailing voice in the office. The chain of speculation looks like this: She hires Rich Galen, increases her profile on national cables and now her staff is getting restless. (That doesn't translate to running for governor of TX.) Does McCain double down on experience and bring the HRC women by choosing her?
