Barack Obama, Redistributor John McCain has started using the 2001 radio interview that Scott wrote about this morning in his stump speech: Power Line [see video here] powerlineblog.com McCain does it pretty well, although I don't think he fully captures the chilling, matter-of-fact radicalism of the Obama interview. It will be interesting to see how much impact this theme--which started with Joe the Plumber, of course--will have. Not too many years ago, a Presidential candidate who explicitly advocated taking your money and giving it to someone else, on the theory that you have too much and it would be nice if he had more, would have been a dead duck. Whether most Americans now understand either the terrible unfairness or the social and economic consequences of Obama's leveling instinct is not so clear.
