McCain Backs Off New Economic Proposals

So, the McCain campaign is going to "hit the reset button" to try and portray the campaign as less "erratic"? Nice start. This campaign is toast, extra burnt.

"Despite signals that Sen. John McCain would have new prescriptions for the economic crisis after a weekend of meetings, his campaign said Sunday that Mr. McCain... would not have any more proposals this week unless developments call for some," the New York Times reports.

"The signs of internal confusion came as the campaign was under pressure from state party leaders to sharpen his message on the economy and at least blunt the advantage that Democrats traditionally have on the issue in hard times."

"Participants in the meeting refused to say what happened," according to Politico.

"The news dismayed McCain supporters and surrogates, who had thought the fresh policy would help him gain traction on the campaign's most vital issue, and dilute the impression that he was relying solely on attacks in the home stretch."

PS- I just heard Amanda Carpenter of Townhall on MSNBC saying that union card checks are a very important issue that will resonate with voters. HAHAHAHAHA.
