With the economy tanking due to the once "infallible" Republican economic theory, which is no longer a theory (it doesn't work), John McCain is trying hard to distance himself from his deregulation mantra. This ad portrays McCain as an in your face fighter, instead of a thoughtful level head problem solver. You are really going to like the NY Times look at the ads accuracy. McCain complains about the greed of Wall Street, yet it wouldn't have been so greedy with regulation, or is that too obvious an answer? All I can say is that it couldn't have happen to a more deserving liar.
SCORECARD Mr. McCain got himself into trouble on Monday by arguing that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” despite the Wall Street crisis. This advertisement is an effort to rebound from that much-criticized statement ... But he has on occasion also acknowledged that economics is not his strongest suit, so with the financial markets drifting into uncharted waters, it is hard to tell if the experience argument will convince voters.
