WOW, Mark this is great advice for McCain....very well constructed and simple talking points for both McCain and Palin who also has a definite streak of Populist thinking!
But it has one problem.
McCain does not sit up all night reading FR. You can bet on it.
He has people skimming this stuff to give him a synopsis.
He will never ever see this because his handlers have a better idea and they control what the skimmers give him.
Instead of this story, he will get something like: 50% of the blogs think he should be more forceful. 30% think he should be less forceful and 20% are undecided.
It is so sad that when these guys get so far up the ladder, they become insulated from public contact, other than a few cheers and handshakes as they walk from the limo to the hotel.
