Mission Accomplished
John McCain's camp answered Barack Obama's charge this afternoon that the AZ senator would continue President Bush's failed economic policies.
"Senator Obama's blatant mischaracterizations aren't the new politics he's promised America, they're the old attack and smear tactics that Americans are tired of," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement. "Barack Obama's diagnosis for our housing market is clearly that Barack Obama knows best -- raise taxes on hardworking Americans and give government a prescription to spend.
"John McCain has called for an immediate and balanced approach to provide transparency and accountability in an effort to help homeowners who are hurting, while Barack Obama has made a $10 billion election-year promise that is sure to raise taxes and handcuff an already struggling economy."
We're guessing that this dialogue makes Obama's camp strangely gleeful. Why? Because the more the IL senator engages and is engaged by McCain, the more fodder for those parlor games about the timing, nature and inevitability of Hillary Clinton's exit from the race.

Poor Republicans. Still living in the 80's & 90's. Still thinking all of their tired talking points still work. Repuplican registration is at an all time low according to Pew. They're speaking solely to Rush Limbaugh and his listeners. No one else pays attention anymore.
