	<abstract><![CDATA[<p>Isn't it strange that Barack Obama <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/27/AR2008072701245.html">didn't get a bounce</a> from his wildly well-received overseas trip? Oh wait, <a href="http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/07/barack_obamas_european_bounce.html">maybe he did</a>. But, hey, it was just <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/07/obama-poll-trip.html">a small bounce</a>. Or was it more of a bump? Perhaps a bouncelet? A hop? A ricochet? A swelling? Or was it a rash? In which case, if it persists for more than two weeks, should he see an electoral professional, or just declare victory?</p>

<p>Of course, almost all of this analysis...</p>]]></abstract>
