International Policy Digest
With the Romney campaign purportedly planning a foreign policy trip that will take Romney to the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Israel and possibly Afghanistan, foreign policy might enter the presidential race which could benefit the Obama campaign.
Rarely does foreign policy swing a U.S. presidential election one way

handling of the economy, the Romney campaign should be overjoyed.

Obama enjoys higher poll numbers on his handling of foreign policy than
his economic stewardship according to national polls. A debate over
foreign policy is something that the Obama campaign would relish.
