"WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Good morning! John McCain&amp;#x27;s having a spell of bad luck that no one could have predicted, Barack Obama is still on his world tour, and Nas went to the Colbert Report to bash Fox News. It&amp;#x27;s all after the jump!Hurricane McCain John McCain has hadplenty of problems this week&amp;amp;#8212;with his insistence that a country named &amp;quot;Czechoslovakia&amp;quot; exists, to claiming his beloved surge started long before it did, he was in need of a little good luck. But, Lady Luck didn&amp;#x27;t see it that way, and sent a hurricane to spoil his speech from an offshore drilling platform and an oil spill to ruin his speech on land, just for starters. I know who she&amp;#x27;s voting for! Young People Use Email, Ignore Elderly Candidate McCain is still learning how to get on the Internet at a time when it is a key way to reach young voters (and donors). So it&amp;#x27;s difficult for him to strike a chord with the youth, especially given his minimal outreach (online or off). So it&amp;#x27;s no surprise that he&amp;#x27;s not doing so well with the youngsters. He might want to stop giving a thumbs-up and start fist-bumping. Courting The Coveted Anti-Castro Demographic Months ago, when dictators and thugs the world over thought Obama might be friendlier to them, Fidel Castro said that Obama might not be so terrible. Thus, the new McCain anti-Obama commercial was born. No one outside of South Florida actually cares (and technically, Fidel Castro is no longer Cuba&amp;#x27;s leader). This is getting a little ridiculous. McCain seems to be running for President of the Early Bird Special. Jindal Out of Veepstakes Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, long rumored to be on the short list to be McCain&amp;#x27;s VP, has announced that he won&amp;#x27;t be McCain&amp;#x27;s choice. He&amp;#x27;s says it&amp;#x27;s because he&amp;#x27;s got the job he wants, but some people might guess that he&amp;#x27;s doing a little pre-emptive announcement to avoid looking like he didn&amp;#x27;t get an offer. Obama In The Middle East The Obamania World Tour 2008 continues in Europe today. Yesterday he finished off a wild round of talks in Israel and the West Bank designed to convince American voters that he can do something about the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict&amp;amp;#8212;or at least not make it worse. Germany, where he is scheduled to give a big speech tonight, is his next stop. Nas On Fox Rapper Nas was on the Colbert Report last night, talking about his anti-Fox News views and performing his song Sly Fox about how biased the news is. Think maybe he&amp;#x27;s supporting Obama? Are McCain&amp;#x27;s gaffes and clunk ads hurting him? Is Obama&amp;#x27;s trip helping him? &amp;amp;#8212;Megan"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
