McCainomics
Ross considers McCain's something-for-everyone economic policy:
This is almost certainly a wiser approach than campaigning as the
prince of budgetary rectitude and nothing else, but by leaving McCain
without a signal theme, it runs the risk that the media will end up
deciding which aspects of his program get highlighted, and what
narrative he ends up saddled with. If he's lucky, the press will
highlight the populist themes and proposals, and portray him (once
again) as the heir to Teddy Roosevelt. If he isn't, though, they'll peg
him as a flip-flopping opportunist -- or worse, as George W. Bush
redux.
Budgetary rectitude would have been enough for me after the last seven years - and more effective a contrast with Obama. The gas tax holiday idea has to be one of the more depressing of the season.
