We know from past elections that this sort of rhetoric works with many voters. The Rove inspired campaigning is rather masterful in swaying public opinion. I am still amazed that the McCain camp's recent TV ad touting the maverick nature of their candidates states "Palin stopped the bridge to nowhere". They are taking something that should be a huge negative and changing the position 180 degrees to make a positive. The sad thing is that it probably works. I imagine by next week the anti-reform McCain will become the great government overseer who will reform Wall Street and save the economy.
