This cycle's John McCain speaks words

Obama Failed Because We Needed a Larger, Longer Stimulus  - This election cycle's John McCain

“ Translation from Chameleon-speak: Romney is hinting that the economy — the fire — needed not just more stimulus, but longer-lasting stimulus. Instead of pouring on a little gasoline to kick start the fire, we’d needed a slow-burning log that would provide fuel for a longer period. Except for the implied nonsense that spending on workers and goods/services by the private sector creates jobs but the same spending by government doesn’t, he almost sounds like all those liberal economists — Krugman, Thoma, Stiglitz, Galbraith, Baker, et al. [Scarecrow] Yesterday's news, ballyhooed by all the usual suspects, that  Romney is tied with Obama in Florida struck me as proof of Romney's puny popularity, not strength.   I mean, come on.  Tied with the least popular man in America?  Sheesh.
