Stephen Flanagan, CSIS Senior Vice President and director of the CSIS International Security Program, was quoted by Agence France Press, "Risks, Rewards for Obama, McCain as Campaign Goes Global."
Barack Obama and John McCain are taking international detours from the White House trail, with risk-and-reward missions designed to polish commander-in-chief resumes four months from election day.
Both men hope their statesmanlike poses in Europe and the Middle East will impress voters back home and score points in a tussle over sharply divergent foreign policy visions. [...]
"There is enormous enthusiasm for Obama throughout Europe," said Stephen Flanagan, a former high-ranking State Department official, now senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
