Kim Strassel of the
Wall Street Journal does a great job demystifying Obama's proposed policies
here. While she goes after taxes, health care, and Iraq, the most important paragraph of the piece may not even be about Obama at all; in fact, it may be about John McCain.
Strassel writes:
"...We'd like to thank a few people in the audience. Namely, Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who has so admirably restrained himself from running up on stage to debunk any of these illusions and spoil everyone's fun. (CH: which, of course, Strassel just did)
"We know he's in a bit of a box, having initially blamed today's financial crisis on corporate 'greed,' and thus made it that much harder to call for a corporate tax cut, or warn against excessive regulation. Still, there were some pretty big openings up here this evening, and he let them alone! We'd also like to thank Mr. McCain for keeping all the focus on himself these past weeks. It has helped the Great Obama to just get on with the show."
This makes me wonder if tomorrow night McCain will not "focus on himself" and come out of that box Strassel speaks of. It's really his last chance...
