Romney To Israel
[Update: this post has been corrected to reflect the fact it was John McCain, not Romney who was the first official WH '08er to visit Israel]
As of this writing, Mitt Romney is on his way to Israel for a four-day whirlwind tour of the country. His list of meetings and places he's visiting is impressive. The most surprising thing about the trip? That the first two announced WH '08 candidates to visit Israel are GOPers and not Dems. [McCain went in December]. This is just more evidence that the "Israel primary" is no longer something that just the Democrats compete in.
Full schedule of Romney's Israel trip after the jump:
On the evening of Saturday, January 20, Governor Mitt Romney will travel to Israel on a trip sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC). On Tuesday, January 23, Governor Romney will deliver public remarks at the Seventh Annual Herzliya Conference. Governor Romney will return to the United States on Thursday, January 25.

Ofcourse Romney will go to Israel. He must submitt and show his loyalty to the Zionists in hopes they'll allow him to become the president of the USA. If Israel says yes, then it's yes.
