A Shift in Strategy.

So now, after the debate, the McCain campaign is going after Barak Obama on character. It's about time but may also be too late. The focus should have been about the economy. McCain's campaign let Obama set the tone on the economy discussion. There are folks in congress doing a better job of countering the bashing of Supply Side economics by pointing out that the Keynsian economics advocated by Obama is vintage 70's and should stay there with the Leisure Suit.

I hope that McCain has something to follow up with - something of substance because this line of attack is not going to change too many minds. My advice is to go after Obama's economic meassage hard but with humor to belittle the view that his plan is credible and he has a grasp on economics. The re-cast tax policy as being about 1 thing - to raise money for government operations not for social justice. I don't see that happening but miracles do happen.
