Dr. Phil Graham is correct about the economy not being in a recession except in the minds of the Democrats and the media, and the baby-boomers being a gereration of whiners. That may not be the way to win the election, but is nevertheless true. I think McCain's best chance is to take a Truman-like approach, and tell it like it is, but he isn't doing that so far despite his assertions that he has the "straight-talk express." McCain could beat an arrogant, elitist intellectual like Obama (Americans don't much like intellectuals), but he doesn't appear to be up to the job.
