Bone up on foreign policy in media call tomorrow

Foreign policy may seem foreign to some rural journalists, but it shouldn't, with our military relying heavily on rural recruits and a shaky economy that is often affected, even at the farm and small-town level, by events overseas.

The Council on Foreign Relations is making a special effort to bring foreign-policy issues to rural voters during this year's race for president. Tomorrow, it is hosting a listen-only media call with the foreign-policy advisers to the Clinton, Obama and McCain campaigns, moderated by Jim Hoagland of The Washington Post.

The call will take place from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. The call-in number is 1-866-710-0179 and the passcode is C2008. The representatives will be Susan Rice for Obama, Mara Rudman for Clinton and Randy Scheunemann for McCain.
