McCain: Selling an Economic Policy (Time 7/10/08)
By Karen Tumulty
John McCain has retooled his campaign — yet again — and put Steve
Schmidt, a veteran of Karl Rove's old shop, in charge of the day-to-
day operation. He's back out again doing what he says he loves best,
mixing it up with voters in town hall settings. Where he once
professed not to know much about the economy, it's now what he talks
about constantly.

McCain Squirms on Birth Control Question (Wall Street Journal 7/9/08)
By Elizabeth Holmes
While John McCain often embodies an anything-goes attitude when
talking to reporters, it doesn’t mean some subjects can’t make him
sweat—say, birth control. A female Los Angeles Times reporter inquired
today about comments made earlier this week by McCain campaign adviser
Carly Fiorina, the former head of Hewlett Packard.

In theory, economists support McCain (Politico 7/9/08)
By Alexander Burns and Avi Zenilman
The endorsement could hardly have been stronger. On Monday, John
McCain’s campaign released a statementsigned by 300 economists who

nominee’s “broad and powerful economic agenda.”

Carly Fiorina's fuzzy McCain-speak (LA Times 7/9/08)
By Cathleen Decker
Carly Fiorina is one of John McCain's chief surrogates, talking him up

chief of Hewlett-Packard in 2005, is not above rounding the edges on
straight talk.

McCain Sparks Controversy with Social Security 'Disgrace' Comments

By Jonathan Weisman and Michael D. Shear
In remarks at a town hall meeting in Denver Monday, which are only now

he likes to call "a little straight talk." ... If that payment system
is a disgrace, it has been one since Social Security was created
during the Great Depression.

No G(r)8 Accomplishment (Washington Post 7/10/08)
President Bush's agreement to a declaration on climate change comes
seven years late. THE GROUP of Eight declaration of its commitment to
a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2050
could be viewed as a ho-hum event when you consider that German
Chancellor Angela Merkel sought the same commitment at last year's
summit and that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has
called for a cut of up to 80 percent in the same period.

McCain Sticks By Cap-N-Trade (The Atlantic 7/9/08)
By Marc Ambinder
Larry Kudlow is happy because he thinks John McCain has consigned his

Jill Hazelbaker, McCain's communications director, calls the notion
that McCain is abandoning or minimizing his support for cap-n-trade
"totally false."

McCain vs. Obama: Still fighting the '60s culture wars? (LA Times
7/9/08)
If you ever want to know whether someone is really a Democrat or a
Republican at heart, just ask them what they think about the '60s. As
Bill Clinton, the shrewdest of all judges when it came to divining
voters' subconscious political loyalties, memorably put it: "If you
look back on the '60s and think there was more good than harm, you're
probably a Democrat. If you think there was more harm than good,
you're probably a Republican."
