McCain's Economic Advisers

If I told you that someobody was being advised on the economy by Carly Fiorina, Phil Gramm, and George Bush, would you even think about voting for them? I didn't think so, and neither does the Obama campaign which tonight released this new ad:

Although this ad could stand on its own as an effective attack, it's also a reponse to John McCain's totally false ad linking Barack Obama with Franklin Raines.

The subtext of McCain's ad is obvious, but taking the bait would be totally counterproductive. He's willing to do anything to get the subject off of the economic policy, and we can't afford to do anything to enable that.
