[News Hounds] Heckuva Job, Brownie and Elmendorf!: Its not as though Colmes didnt try to move the subject from Obamas insignificant association with former 60s radical Bill Ayers to the important issues - which just happen to be the same ones in which the Democrats are vastly favored - such as Iraq, the economy, health care, etc. Colmes, also a Clinton supporter, said in Part 1, “I think (Obama) put it very well last night.

[The GOPNation Blog] The Democrats Wimp Factor - Newsweek: It showed up, like Banquo’s ghost, at the debate Wednesday night in Philadelphia, particularly when Hillary Clinton joined with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson to nip away at the edges of Barack Obama’s patriotism. Between the questions about Obama’s meager association with William Ayers, a former Weatherman, and the suspicions raised by his lack of a flag lapel pin, the likely nominee is slowly being turned into John Kerry.
[Richmond Leaders] How Could John McCain Win In November?: It wouldn’t hurt for McCain to remind the public, subtly but with some frequency, that he ran against Bush in 2000 and predicted Bush would not be a successful leader. (The videotape of McCain hailing Bush in 2004 will have to be seized as contraband.) Far more helpful than this, however, would be the announcement that President Bush intends to take a lengthy foreign trip in October, with the even more unpopular Vice President Cheney in tow.
[newsbusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias] NBC: Tax Cuts Mean McCain's Economic Plan 'Doesn't Add Up': Network journalists have yet to meet a spending hike or regulation that they considered unwise, but any tax cut is always ill-advised and helps “the wealthy.” Living up to the pattern -- and illustrating how John McCain will earn media scorn for any conservative policy proposal -- NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams set up a Tuesday story on McCain's economic plan by emphasizing how “some critics say his economic plan, which centers on more tax cuts, doesn't add up.”

[The Harvard College Democrats blogs] Things I am tired of seeing on my blog feed: One could argue that Barack Obama was 94% less out of touch than Hillary Clinton in 2006, who was also 75% more elitist than John McCain, plus bonus fat-cat points for how difficult it is to spell Chappaqua. One could make arguments about the effects of being new money, old money, or beer money on a particular candidate's tax policy.

Similarly, in an April 15 CNN.com Political Ticker post aboutRomney's appearance on AmericanMorning, Martina Stewart and Emily Shermanwrote that Romney "plugged the Arizona senator's credentials onfiscal issues," and that McCain "has faced charges that he is relativelyinexperienced dealing with economic policy." However, in neither the American Morning interview nor the PoliticalTicker post did CNN note that Romney and McCain himself have suggested thatMcCain is "relatively inexperienced" on the economy. Indeed, as anApril 15 Associated Press article noted,while Romney "was on television Tuesday touting the economic credentialsof John McCain," "questioning McCain's economic credentials was thecenterpiece of Romney's recent Floridaprimary campaign." Further, McCain has reportedly stated that"[t]he issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as Ishould" and that "I know a lot less abouteconomics than I do about military and foreign policy issues.
