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. I don't doubt the attempt will be made. My only point here is that Obama reframes the deficit spending debate in to one about lost opportunities and trying to rework the political agenda such that folk put efforts in to the rebuilding stuff. It's a redirection of focus before it's a redirection of money. Classic community organizing stuff. If Clinton is the Dem nominee, then I see the frame being the one you put on the table. And she would be less successful, should she try, at trying to reframe.
