With just a month to go until Election Day, McCain's team has decided that its emphasis on the senator's biography as a war hero, experienced lawmaker and straight-talking maverick

I dunno... do people have to be reminded again and again that he is a war hero? It didn't work for Bush Sr. and Dole, both of whom are also war hero. Besides, McCain seems uncomfortable to keep talking about it. The Dims will try to steer discussion to the economy. Rather than run from it, they have to embrace it and inflict a serious damage such as telling the public the real reason of this crisis: trying to combine socialism with capitalism.

Did you read the whole sentence?

With just a month to go until Election Day, McCain's team has decided that its emphasis on the senator's biography as a war hero, experienced lawmaker and straight-talking maverick is insufficient to close a growing gap with Obama.

In other words, the McCain folks know that the war hero thing ain't working.

I agree. There is certainly enough footage out there of the hearing in 05, and plenty of records of 03 as well. Just putll out the records and show the clips! McCain has to realize, most of the leveral voters were against the bail out too.

Yep, this one’s gonna be determined by view on the economy, and at this date it’s not good enough to promise lower taxes (while Obama pitches his own (95% cut’)and question Obama’s judgment or leadership. Obama has to be shown for the Marxist, economic fraud that he is.

This really is what September was for, but they passed on doing what they had to do. And of course their position on the whole mortgage/credit bailout fraud has only made it tougher. Now it’s sounding like they’re going to pass on doing what they should have done a month ago.

I think our only hope is that they radically set Palin free—and then learn from her lead that Obama can and should be taken on with this.
