"We'll give the people a choice," McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, told about 200 members of the Charlotte Chamber at Spirit Square. "I'm willing to put my experience and judgment against Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama any day of the week."

Today, In North Carolina, John McCain Outlined His Judicial Philosophy And Vision. The proper role of the judiciary has become one of the defining issues of this presidential election. It will fall to the next president to nominate hundreds of qualified men and women to the federal courts, and the impact of these choices will reach far into the future. As President, John McCain will look for accomplished men and women with a proven record of excellence in the law and a proven commitment to judicial restraint to serve on the federal bench.

For Jonathan Weisman of the Post to admonish McCain for supporting the extension of the 15 percent tax rate on capital gains and dividends, irrespective of McCain's opposition to the cut in tax rates, circa 2003, is hardly a breaking news story. It makes me wonder just what is so monumental or historical about a political leader/presidential candidate changing his mind as the facts change, as John Maynard Keynes once observed.

John McCain today issued the following statement on the jobs report:

Sen. John McCain made a stop in Denver this morning to talk about health care in America. Before he began his town hall meeting, he took time out to answer a few questions.
Question: A recent poll showed 81 percent of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track and President Bush's approval rating is in the low 30s and places like Colorado have been battered by the foreclosure crisis. What do you offer that is different than what has been offered for the past eight years?
McCain: A plan of action. A way to get the economy back on its feet. A way to make sure our nation is secure and among other things an energy policy that eliminates our dependence on foreign oil. I have a plan and I'll put it into action and we will show the American people that I have both the experience and the knowledge and the judgment and the vision to lead the country as president and that's what campaigns are all about.
