McCain, Obama Clash on Economy (Washington Post 6/11/08)
By Perry Bacon Jr.; A01
Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain outlined on Tuesday sharply different
approaches on how to revive the nation's economy and provide aid to
struggling workers, giving voters a clear choice on the issue that Americans
say they are most concerned about.

2 New-Style Candidates Hit Old Notes on Economy (NYT 6/11/08)
By MICHAEL COOPER and LARRY ROHTER
For all the efforts of Senators John McCain and Barack Obama to portray
themselves as willing to break with party orthodoxy to get things done, the
economic debate that opened their general election campaign this week
previews a classic clash. It is a battle between Republican supply-side
economics and a Democratic tradition that uses government levers to try to
reduce inequality and spur the economy.

dhe3.jpgIn a conference call yesterday, Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) top
economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, said McCain voted against the 2005
Energy Policy Act because it contained massive tax breaks to big oil
companies. McCain's economic plan, Holtz-Eakin claimed, would eliminate "all
special tax breaks" to these oil companies, who are currently enjoying
record profits:

McCain vs Obama on taxes (Washington Post "FactChecker" blog 6/11/08)
...McCain's speech to the Small Business Summit yesterday leaves the
impression that Obama favors raising taxes on all Americans, across the
board. But his words have been carefully parsed. A more literal reading
suggests that he could also be talking about some Americans from "every
background," not "all Americans."

McCain Calls Arizona a Swing State (Washington Independent 6/10/08)
By John Dougherty
Sen. John McCain's big struggle to energize a suspicious conservative
Republican base and attract crucial independent voters is a national fight
that encompasses his home state of Arizona. Despite representing the state
in Congress for 26 years, McCain is now confronting a resurgent state
Democratic Party and a burgeoning number of unpredictable independent
voters.

Why Do Women Give McCain a Zero? (Huffington Post 6/10/08)
By Robert Greenwald
John McCain's record on reproductive rights couldn't be more appalling.
There, we said it! We said it because the corporate media won't confront
McCain on the real issues in this election. They won't tell you, for
instance, that McCain has consistently received a big fat zero from NARAL on
its pro-choice scorecard. Nor will they tell you that McCain has
flip-flopped on Roe v. Wade and now supports overturning this
all-too-crucial case.

Lame (TIME blog 6/10/08)
by Joe Klein
John McCain quipped yesterday that Barack Obama is "running for Jimmy
Carter's second term." I can't imagine that most people under the age of 40
are old enough to remember what Carter's first term was like. It was done 28
years ago. For my kids, it's as vivid as Calvin Coolidge's first term.

McCain Plays Defense (TIME blog 6/10/08)
by Jay Carney
As a rule, political candidates have more success when they're telling
people what they're for and who they are -- rather than defensively
explaining what, and who, they are not. Which is why you might have found
the first two national salvos of the general election from the McCain
campaign a bit puzzling. First, in his general election launch speech a week
ago tonight (widely panned because of McCain's awkward delivery), the money
graf was all about McCain defending himself against the Democratic charge
that he is little more than McBush, a clone who would continue the current
unpopular president's policies. Then, at the end of the week, came the
campaign's first major TV buy, a 30-second spot running in ten key states
around the country, on both cable and broadcast. It's message: I'm not a
warmonger.

Jewish Dem donor joins McCain team (The Hill 6/10/08)

Democrats Join to Tout Obama, Bash McCain (Washington Post blog 6/10/08)

With a long and divisive primary fight finally behind them, the bulk of the
national Democratic leadership joined forces today to tout the candidacy of
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and to bash Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) -- in
noticeably strong terms. At the same time, Obama took a key step toward
reaching out to Clinton supporters and raising money for his party's
congressional candidates.

In the genuine historical miracle of Barack Obama -- it was only 43 years

been largely overshadowed. ....one of the most improbable comebacks of
