JERUSALEM — On any other day, President Bush's visit to Israel tomorrow would be the lead news story. But New Hampshire and Joe Gibbs are making sure today that Mr. Bush's trip is going virtually unnoticed.

Nonetheless, the traveling press has arrived in Jerusalem, and I'll be blogging with pictures and video over the next several days, as Mr. Bush spends three days here and then goes to Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Check back often. And for now, all of us in the press will go back to watching the New Hampshire results while we wait for the president to arrive.
