Grasping for a foothold on the economy, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) plans a new economic package that is likely to focus on tax cuts for investors, campaign officials said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who was helping plan the announcement at a meeting Sunday, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that it would be “a very comprehensive approach to jump-start the economy, by allowing capital to be formed easier in America by lowering taxes.”
. . . McCain officials said the measures being considered include tax cuts — perhaps temporary ones — for capital gains and dividends.
Those were on a menu of roughly 30 options that had been presented to McCain.
. . . Officials would not say which ones he chose during a major strategy meeting Sunday.
Politico, today:
Presented with 30 options for new economic measures, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has – at least for now – chosen none of them.
. . . The campaign now says no new policy announcements are planned. Participants in the meeting refused to say what happened.
“We’re locked down,” said one official.
Must have been a fun meeting. I wonder if the famously impatient McCain is starting to lose interest in his own campaign.
Stumble it!

Well, I think it would do his campaign some good if he actually came out with a plan instead of spending valuable campaign time making vague promises and directing his staff to spend their energy mudslinging. I think his goose is cooked.
