The GOP’s security gap
The American Prospect
by Harold Meyerson
The conventional wisdom on this year’s election is that John McCain would be the strongest candidate the Republicans could send against the Democrats come November. I believe it myself. And yet, as the economy continues to deflate, the prospects for a McCain presidency are deflating as well. The affable McCain has on more than one occasion affably admitted that the economy is not his strong suit. It’s an admission you can make when you’re confident that your bona fides on national security will eclipse your economic deficiencies. And that confidence is evident in McCain’s view of the world, and of himself. The ‘transcendent challenge’ of our time, he says in his stump speech, is ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ Given that, who better to fight it than McCain?...
