Contrary to prevailing Dem views, I think that Obama/Biden should resist the temptation to make the economy the center piece of their campaign. To be sure, the Dems should reinforce the voters' views that the Dems have the edge on that issue, but the Dems should hit the Republicats as hard, or even harder, on national security. An on that point, the Dems should directly engage McCain on his claim that the "surge" in Iraq has worked. They should stress, time and again, that when McCain claims success for the surge, he is making the same mistake that was made in 2003 when people said "mission accomplished." It shows a dangerously short-sighted and naive thinking that confuses temporary battlefield success with long-term political solutions. Bush thinking in new clothing.
