Education Of John McCain
Chad Aldeman is right about where it looks, based on this AP story, that McCain is going on education, but I don’t think that Chad would make a very good McCain advisor based on the options he lays out. There is a fourth option for the McCain campaign beside the three that Chad offers up: McCain could actually be the kind of conservative who champions powerful national institutions and he could try to improve the public schools with a bold agenda. I get the hostility that real anti-government conservatives have toward public schools but have never understood why more mainstream conservatives don’t seize the mantle of school reform.
Besides, although I want to see Senator Obama win the election, such a posture from McCain would at least make our issue more interesting than a bunch of warmed over GOP golden oldies will…
