Great convention. Powerful speech. Now what?

Should Obama hide out during the RNC? Take a whistlestop train ride across the heartland? Visit the troops overseas? Unleash the first volley of the TV air war?

What should his plan be for the next week? Sketch some benchmark scenarios and we’ll compare them to what the campaign actually does.

    p>Obama should be down there already saving kittens from the coming floods. đŸ˜‰
