The Fallacies of the McCain Campaign Strategy
An op-ed piece in today's Wall Street Journal ("The McCain Change") questioned McCain strategy of focusing so heveily on character and experience at the expense of the economy. Here is an excerpt:
...Mr. McCain will have to resist the temptation to fight this election mainly on character and experience. His own campaign manager suggested this week that this election will be about "character" more than issues. But that is a losing strategy in a year when the electorate is also looking for change at home, especially a stronger economy and rising after-tax, after-inflation incomes. Mr. McCain can only win if his character advantage is applied to an agenda of genuine change.
What is this change? For all of McCain talk about being a maverick and reformer he has yet on the campaign trail specifically lay out programs and policies that will address America's economic problems. Maybe Cindy McCain will sell her wardrobe on Ebay to help pay down the national debt.
