MCCAIN NEEDS TO SAY ON HIS TAX-SPEND MESSAGE

As Democrats supporting John McCain this year, we are troubled by McCain’s new message of the day regarding Bil Oil profits.

McCain needs to STAY ON THE TAX-SPEND MESSAGE that has resulted in the recent tightening of the polls.

Moreover, Obama's infomercial last night gave McCain the perfect opening to drive home his tax-spend message:

Looking beyond the slick infomercial production—which was superb—Barack Obama’s infomercial has unwittingly given John McCain an opening to hammer home his tax/spend message:

Obama has gone from pledging that he will cut taxes on joint married filers with a household income of $250,000 or less, to saying last night that his tax cut threshold is $200,000 per household. Combined with Joe Biden’s stump statement yesterday that Obama's no-tax-raise, tax reduction threshold will be $150,000, McCain has new evidence to support his contention that by the time Obama takes the oath of office, Obama will be raising taxes on most who pay taxes.

Our take: Obama shot himself in the foot on McCain’s last and best issue.

So, John, PLEASE, get on, and stay on, message.
