It’s also risky in the sense that this was to be the “Foreign Policy” debate, where McCain has a decided edge.
McCain is doing the right thing, foreign policy is not on everyone’s mind this week, the economy is. I was thinking if McCain showed at the debate he should demand they talk about the economy. This works too.
The McCain campaign is damn bold, has been throughout.
Think of it as the defense calling timeout, just as the placekicker is lining up to try a 52-yard field goal.
