I have no doubt there will be attempts to paint the election that way. Hard to say whether it will be successful. I doubt it, however, given McCain will be the nominee. Nor do I think promising to tackle healthcare, education, and infrastructure issues will cost him votes. I think deficit spending will be more of an issue than you believe in this election cycle. Any other nominee and the Republicans get destroyed on this issue, but McCain is somebody who does have some credibility here. As for foreign policy, the relative stability in Iraq has helped, but McCain will likely need more progress between now and November. This has always been the Democrats election to lose. McCain gives the Republicans a chance, but they'll need quite a bit to go right. Slacker
