Republicans frustrated by a perceived lack of fight from the John McCain campaign will find cheer in a Washington Post
report this morning. Sources within the campaign say that they will
become much more aggressive in exposing Barack Obama’s ties to radicals
and his lack of experience and judgment in the final four weeks of the
campaign. This strategy entails significant risk, but they need to
regain the edge they had before the conventions
With the bailout bill behind him, though, McCain has to start talking about the real
reasons behind the financial collapse — the perversion of the lending
markets through Democratic intervention, and the Democrats who
protected Fannie Mae from the OFHEO regulators while they blithely
bought billions in bad paper and turned them into bad securities that
poisoned the entire investment sector. He may have held his tongue
while building bipartisan support for Congressional action, but the
time has come to name names, and to point to Obama’s massive
fundraising from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac interests and link it to his
complete inaction on the subprime lending crisis.
