There must be some value in letting one campaign have a clear platform for its agenda without any questions, clarifications, or push-back,but I'm not sure what it is. It would be more informative to precede or follow this piece with a similar piece from the Obama campaign. To read this, McCain is a shoe-in in November and if you don't like him, you may as well not vote. The major problem here is that we have no context or other opposing information to help us form any opinions as to whether or not it's at all realistic.

This is a report on a briefing given by the McCain staff. The Campain Manager Rick Davis uses some polls to show how the Republicans can win the election. Although he tries to be optimistic he agrees it will be an uphill battle.

This is merely an opinion piece and as long as it's seen as such, it's OK. Unfortunately for the McCain campaign, their opinions don't match independent information.
