DNC continues attacks on McCain today...week of speeches doesn't help a weak candidate.
Since no one else is going after John McCain on our side of the aisle, the DNC will issue daily attacks. Then our own candidates will be free to destroy each other.

DNC: A Week of Speeches Can't Reinvent a Weak Candidate

WASHINGTON, March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This morning, John McCain launches his effort to reinvent himself for the general election with a week of speeches. After running as a so-called "maverick" and "outsider" in his failed 2000 campaign, John McCain cast aside his principles and morphed into a Bush Republican for this year's primaries.

Now, after embracing the President's budget-busting tax cuts for the
wealthy, abandoning his own immigration reform plan to cozy up to the right wing of his party, and turning his back on the campaign finance and lobbying reforms he once championed, McCain is trying to reinvent himself yet again.

But John McCain has already shown how out of touch he is with the
voters by adopting President Bush's failed health care plan, marching in
lockstep with President Bush's failed Iraq strategy every step of the way, supporting President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security, and refusingto offer a plan to help homeowners struggling to confront the mortgage crisis.


Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean today issued the
following statement on McCain's latest political makeover:

"John McCain deserves our respect for his service to our country,but
no reinvention tour can change the fact that a vote for him is a vote for four more years of President Bush's failed policies. No matter how many times he tries to reintroduce himself, the voters already know that John McCain is out of touch with the challenges facing working families, admits he doesn't understand the economy, and is willing to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years. John McCain can talk about his past, but only a Democrat can bring the change the American people want for the future."

A winning strategy for sure. About 22% (the backwash) agree.

5. K&R.
Yes, Mccain deserves our respect for his service in the military. But other then that, the man is a walking disaster of historic proportions.

Did that sound hyperbolic?
