The more I think about this, the more I think it might a stroke of genius. The lefty blogs are already apopleptic about the fact that McCain just COMPLETELY upstaged Obama on an issue that Obama was supposed to have the upper hand - the economy. McCain is coming off looking like a man who wants to actually get down and get dirty with the nuts and bolts solutions needed to fix the economy; Obama seems (so far, any way) like he’s just interested in making more campaign promises.
Could the Maverick have pulled off another brilliant political move, a la Sarah Palin? My fingers are crossed....
I hope so also.
Put it this way: is Obama happy McCain made this move, or did it just throw him off track?
I say the latter.
