Warsaw, Poland

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney went 2-for-3 on his 8-day foreign trip. He was a rousing success in Israel and delivered a pleasing performance in Poland. But in London, he was pilloried for doubting whether the Olympics would come off smoothly. Also, the American media traveling with him was largely unimpressed, regarding the trip as little more than one Romney gaffe after another.

The good news for Romney was that Israel and Poland, perhaps the most pro-American nations in the world, were the important stops. The UK, not so much. Romney went there mostly for the Olympics.
