John McCain, already sucking wind in Florida, may have hurt himself in the area that’s his greatest strength — his reputation for “straight talk.” Check out the headline on this AP story: “Romney didn’t say what McCain says he said on withdrawing from Iraq.” By mischaracterizing Romney’s position, he’s succeeded in taking the spotlight off Romney’s own tenuous relationship with the truth.

Not sure why you say he’s “sucking wind”…according to the link you provided it shows Romney and McCain in a dead heat in Florida.

Anon 8:50: If the polls are to be believed, McCain has blown a double-digit lead in Florida over the past week or two.

Speaking of blowing it . . . why on earth is John McCain ceding economic issues to Romney? Aside from Romney’s well-documented failure to turn around the MA economy during his tenure, the guy made his fortune *laying people off* and selling their companies for huge profits! And how does that translate into living wages for the unemployed? McCain is missing a huge opportunity in running for cover when the topic of the economy comes up.
