Ammunition for Reichert and Rossi, Courtesy of McCain

I just heard a speech by John McCain on economics. The speech was very impressive, perhaps a better example of what the Dems can expect than the Hillary touted Reaganesque campaign of fear and race.

The speach was long and emphasized tax and budget reforms that made ma lot of sense but let me focus on one item: PORK. McCain focused on ending the set asides. He claimed that he has never sought a set aside for his state.

This is p0powerful stuff in an economy year. Reichert has already taken the same stand. If Rossi were to join in .. using the Tanker issue as a wedge, I suspect the appeal to voters would be very high.

Darcy Burner is the likeliest victim of such a focus. Her campaign is being hurt, IMHO, by an over focus on Iraq. When the dust settles, the public is going t learn that McCain and Obama are really not all that far apart. The economy, however will be a bigger issue and McCain is offering some teeth that would challenge Burner since many of our Demo delegation have done a good job of raising pork.
