Spending is such an easy issue to criticize, and is done each and EVERY election by both Republicans and Democrats.
It is a toss-away stump speech item, and although it is important function of government, it rarely if ever sways any voters. It is simply too boring and vague.
McCain should stick with Drill Here, Drill now type rhetoric, and he must constantly quote Obama, and Reid, and other Democratic wackadoodgles — all of whom have vowed to NOT seek more energy, and instead suggest we all ride bicycles, have the govt. monitor our thermostats, and other idiotic suggestions.
McCain desperately needs a Top Ten List of things he will do immediately, if not sooner, when elected President.
He should also contrast that with a Top Ten List of things Obama says he will do as President.
The anti-Obama quotes are easy to find. McCain should have them playing on a Video-Tron machine behind him during each and every campaign appearance from now until November.
