PlusAP Campaign MinuteAP Campaign MinuteThe Associated PressHere's the latest from the campaign trail for Thursday, July 24th: Obama addresses thousands in Berlin; McCain meets with business leaders in Ohio; Obama leading Hispanics; Minneapolis police prepare for convention.This is AP Campaign Minute Barack Obama is emphasizing the need to break down barriers that divide people. In a speech in Berlin today, he told a huge crowd that walls cannot stand between old allies, between rich and poor countries, between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christians and Muslims and Jews. It's the latest stop in an overseas trip meant to bolster his foreign policy credentials. John McCain says while he'd love to give a speech in Germany, he'd rather do it as president than as a candidate. McCain is campaigning in Ohio today. After lunching on bratwurst with local business leaders in Columbus, he told reporters he wants to focus on economic issues such as soaring gas and fuel prices. A new national poll suggests Barack Obama has opened a big lead over John McCain among Hispanic voters. The survey by the Pew Hispanic Center shows 66 percent of registered Hispanic voters polled supported the Democrat compared to 23 percent for his Republican rival. Minneapolis and St. Paul police are hoping to keep the peace during this summer's Republican National Convention. Certain officers have been asked to keep open lines of communication with activist leaders at the convention -- in an attempt to increase understanding, and reduce any possible tensions during the convention. ___ ___, The Associated Press, with AP Campaign Minute.

PlusParents of Beaten NY College Student Speak OutParents of Beaten NY College Student Speak OutThe Associated PressThe parents of a college student who was beaten into a coma say they want his suspected assailant to return to the U.S. to face justice. Authorities say the suspect, Miladin Kovacevic, fled to Serbia while out on bail. (July 24)((New York)) A parent's nightmare: Marlene and Richard Steinhauer's only child lies in a coma - while one of the men allegedly responsible for putting him there appears out of the reach of justice. ((Marlene Steinhauer, Mother)) "((sobbing)) It's very difficult to see my son and the quality of his life cut short," Their son Bryan Steinhauer was a magna cum laude senior at State University of New York at Binghamton. He had already landed a job as an accountant, when he was beaten into a coma by three men in May. "...repeatedly kicked in the head over and over while he lay unconscious on the floor bleeding, he was so bloodied that even his only roommate could not recognize him being carried out." It's unclear why the 130 pound student was assaulted in a bar. But a grand jury is charging three men, including 6 foot 9 inches tall Serbian basketball player Miladin Kovacevic ( koh-VAH'-cheh-vitch) in the vicious assault. Kovacevic managed to slip out of the country, and now Serbia is refusing to extradite him, to the great frustration of his mother, a retired public schoolteacher, and his father, a systems analyst. Their lawyer says justice is being cheated. "He's suffering greatly, we just understand he's signed a contract to play basketball in Serbia." Bryan Steinhauer is slowly coming into his consciousness, but it's unclear if he will fully recover. "There's times where he seems to get a little more consciousness of his situation, he starts yelling and screaming, it's like a dagger to your heart." Serbian officials say it is against the law in that country to extradite citizens. Ted Shaffrey, The Associated Press, New York

(July 24)From Jordan to Germany, hords of reporters and photographers have followed every minute of Barack Obama's first international trip as a presidential candidate.But the big question is, are voters paying attention?Some say all the media attention makes the trip hard to miss.SOTRichard Todd "I think you have to. There's so much coverage of it. The coverage has become as issue itself. Others say it hasn't quite peaked their interest.SOT "I'VE HEARD IT ON THE NEWS TALKED ABOUT IT QUITE A BIT.

Foreign policy and national security matters are the one area where Obama trails Republican rival John McCain in the polls. Obama's campaign is hoping that the Senator's trip will help him gain traction on those issues. In Virginia, a potential swing state in the general election, some voters say the trip is having an impact.SOTFor him to be pressing the flesh, meeting with foreign leaders, bodes well for his campaignSOTYou get the impression that people are isolated from what's going on on the ground, but I think he made an effort to see what was really going onObama wraps up his overseas trip with stops in Germany, France and England.
