From Politico: Bush was famously caught on camera at a G8 meeting in 2006 giving Merkel a quick backrub and the [German] chancellor was asked on Wednesday whether she expected more massages from Bush’s successor — whether it’s McCain or Obama. “That’s not really up to me,” she joked. “But I wouldn’t resist.”

I know that, since January, this video has been played countless times, both online and on my iPod. However, as we move into July, I sense that things on the campaign trail are becoming a little worn down, a little strained and perhaps a little negative.
