Of course McCain has to distance himself from George W. Bush:
Unemployment is above 6%, home foreclosures are at a 29-year high and are running at 7,000 a day, and the stock market, where many people have their retirements funds, is dropping as fast home equity - - that other pillar of investment savings.
McCain spent years cultivating a faux maverick reputation when it came to the GOP's extremist's far-right base, and now he's embracing it - - but just isn't calling it the Republican party of George W. Bush.
(And can we please be done with that maverick label, unless being a maverick means being licensed to stand for nothing when opportunism calls? McCain is the Gold Medal flip-flopper, on everything from abortion rights to oil drilling?)
It's that contradiction that provides the Democrats' best opportunity.
Turning the country over to McCain-Palin puts the country and families deeper into debt.
