The Democratic ticket is hitting John McCain’s inadvisable comments in the most recent issue of Contingencies where in an article he wrote in that magazine on page 30 he says:
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking (italics mine), would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
Senator Obama is well aware of Senator McCain’s absurdly injudicious comment in the most recent edition of Contingencies:
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking (bold mine), would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
And Obama takes on McCain for his every bizarre economic proposal articulated in this campaign, and especially over the last several days.
Research 2000/Daily Kos and Rasmussen both come out in the morning, and we now have the data from both polls. Both show Obama’s position has improved.
Rasmussen shows that the race is now tied:
Obama 48
McCain 48
This is the third straight day that Obama’s position has improved in the poll.
A poll conducted for the Indianapolis Star finds that Barack Obama edges John McCain in one of the reddest states of them all, Indiana:
Obama 47
McCain 44
Looking pretty good:

You have to admire John McCain’s commitment to change. He does it every day. If you didn’t like his policies yesterday, don’t sweat it. As long as his poll numbers are changing for the worse on one day, you can count on new attitudes to fundamental issues the next day.
Mark Halperin has assembled some pithy quotes from various sources about how Johnny “I was against Government Intervention before I was for It” McCain is recasting himself after the decline of his poll numbers in the wake of the financial crisis.
