McCain Wants Healthcare as Deregulated as the Banks Are

Thanks to Paul Krugman, Barack Obama has another thing to hit the McCain camp over the head with. Watch the first attempt:

What's encouraging here is that Obama continues to get the materials he needs to construct a narrative against McCain. And that's going to be very effective. According to the tracking polls, it already has been.

What Obama still needs to do to close the sale with voters is talk about his plan for the economy in nuts and bolts terms. It's not enough to talk about how bad the economy is. I don't even think it's enough to talk about what kinds of things you're going to do to fix it. What voters want to hear is, in as specific terms as possible, how these plans will help.
