Talking Points Memo, as its name implies, brings up a tremendous talking point.

And tax your health insurance.

McCain has enormous chutzpah. The economy is his acknowledged weak point. He and his campaign have done everything in their Rovian powers to distract the country from the real, and critical issues facing the country by once again, trying to change it into a cultural battle.

Now that the economic news has taken such a severe turn, McCain has no choice but to try to do something positive for himself with the circumstances with which has now been presented. But yesterday really topped it all, when he accused Obama of blaming the hardworking Americans for causing our economic downturn. I almost choked on my dinner when I heard him say that.
