<div style="display:none!important; mso-hide:all;">Good Wednesday morning from Washington. Democrats are quietly counting their Iran votes, and President Obama remains on vacation, hoping things stay as unexciting as possible. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida is getting some attention for his throwing arm, while several other Republicans are heading to New Hampshire to talk education.
The Republican presidential contest will shift its debate from immigration to education policy on Wednesday, as several candidates gather in New Hampshire to discuss the future of schools.
The news site The Seventy Four, which was created by former television journalist Campbell Brown, will hold a first-of-its-kind public forum featuring about a third of the extensive Republican field: Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker and John R. Kasich. The event can be viewed live here.
Ms. Brown has become an advocate of overhauls to the education system, including changes to the teacher evaluation systems that are part of union contracts. For Mr. Bush, education policy has been a signature issue over the last decade, and the forum gives him a chance to highlight those credentials.
But within the Republican contest, education policy has become a fraught topic, particularly around the Common Core education standards. Mr. Bush favors those standards, which many conservative voters oppose.
Unlike in a debate format with a 60-second response time, Mr. Bush may have more of an opportunity to explain his views. As for Mr. Christie and Mr. Walker, who both had high-profile fights with the teachers’ unions in their respective states, the format will most likely let them showcase their claims to the education battle.</div>

<h2 style="font-family: nyt-franklin, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; margin: 0 0 10px 0;">Obama Looks to Avert the Vacation Curse</h2>
<div style="font-family: georgia,times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28px;">
<p>If there is a common sentiment among the White House staff members, journalists and Secret Service agents who have followed <strong>Mr. Obama</strong> and his family to Martha’s Vineyard, it is this: Don’t do anything to jinx things.</p>
<p>For the first time in years, Mr. Obama has so far dodged anything that might interrupt his family vacation. There has been no international crisis. No domestic upheaval. No budget standoff. No looming epidemic or storm.</p>
<p>For once, Mr. Obama has been free to golf, have long dinners with friends, take walks with his children and hang out at the beach. There have been no briefings by White House officials. There have been no on-camera presidential statements.</p>
<p>That’s rarely been the case.</p>
<p>In 2009, during his first trip to Martha’s Vineyard as president, Mr. Obama was forced to skip off the island to deliver a eulogy for <strong>Senator Edward M. Kennedy</strong> of Massachusetts, who passed away on Aug. 25 that year. Mr. Obama had already interrupted his vacation once that year to reappoint <strong>Ben S. Bernanke</strong> as the chairman of the Federal Reserve.</p>
<p>Last year, the first week of Mr. Obama’s vacation was consumed by riots in Ferguson, Mo., and the escalation of fighting against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Just days after he arrived here in 2014, Mr. Obama confirmed the beheading of <strong>James Foley</strong>, an American journalist, in a live statement from an elementary school here. The White House later announced that an earlier rescue operation had failed.</p>
<p>This time, Mr. Obama is past the halfway mark in his vacation without a crisis. He went to the beach with his family on Tuesday and is likely to watch the island’s annual fireworks on Friday.</p>
<p>Unless something jinxes things.</p>

<h2 style="font-family: nyt-franklin, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; margin: 0 0 10px 0;">Menendez Pans Iran Deal as Democrats Count Votes</h2>
<div style="font-family: georgia,times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28px;">
<p><strong>Senator Robert Menendez</strong> on Tuesday delivered a blistering critique of the Iran nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration, saying in a speech at Seton Hall University in New Jersey that “if Iran is to acquire a nuclear bomb, it will not have my name on it.”</p>
<p>His position on the agreement was no surprise since Mr. Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, has long since telegraphed his opposition. Neither was his tone since he has clashed harshly with <strong>Mr. Obama</strong> over foreign policy issues such as Iran and the thaw with Cuba.</p>
<p>Mr. Menendez pointedly took issue with the president’s characterization of opponents of the deal as the same lawmakers who wrongly supported the war in Iraq, “I opposed it, unlike the vice president and the secretary of state, who both supported it.”</p>
<p>That reference was, of course, to <strong>Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.</strong> and<strong> Secretary of State John Kerry</strong>, who both initially backed the Iraq war.</p>
<p>Mr. Menendez also disputed the president’s claim that the alternative to the agreement was conflict with Iran, and he urged the president to reopen the talks. The question now for the administration is not how Mr. Menendez will vote, but how much he will influence the votes of other Democrats.</p>

<div style="font-family: georgia,times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28px;">
<p><strong>Mr. Rubio</strong> may have found a way to steal some of the attention that has been lavished on <strong>Mr. Trump</strong> in recent weeks: hit a child in the face with a football.</p>
<p>Mr. Rubio’s throw was the talk of Twitter on Tuesday after a <a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=pMJKdIFVI6prARW9e5teBYIVXAnwPHtUIT96y3tISNpEXPsC7ToI8uoSnVwFHg/MVlChlCEUQvUsOx34PBBYUQ==&campaign_id=7779&instance_id=61820&segment_id=76201&user_id=30a142167a399d9be2c1b7c32e192bd2®i_id=63304329">video emerged</a> of him tossing spiral to a young Iowan this week. The boy overran the pass, and the ball collided with his nose.</p>
<p>The dropped ball unleashed a flurry of commentary about Mr. Rubio’s throwing form, and even some suggestions that he send a Hail Mary pass in Mrs. Clinton’s direction.</p>
<p>The child recovered from the incident, and the Rubio campaign, always happy to make lemonade from a lemon, managed to squeeze a fund-raising opportunity out of it. <a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=pMJKdIFVI6r+ffMX/1qpA2A6QcUglFpXVc6WGaIZLvgn1f3trLuNUOsdeYJWlG1ihcHUNQ3UCaDCZuPeKNPAYgQdbE25Bzct&campaign_id=7779&instance_id=61820&segment_id=76201&user_id=30a142167a399d9be2c1b7c32e192bd2®i_id=63304329">Team Marco T-shirts</a> are now available at the online campaign store for $28.</p>
