Armey at RCP, Suderman at the Atlantic

March 31st, 2008 by Peter Suderman

FW Chairman Dick Armey has an op-ed in RCP on how John McCain should address economic issues:

That John McCain places great importance on honor and fairness is plain to see in every speech and every campaign appearance. These values have made him a strong and steadfast leader on foreign policy, but on economics, his direction has been less certain. One result is that on domestic policy, the meat and potatoes of American politics, there has been noticeable tension between McCain and many conservative, free-market advocates, which some claim is a necessary byproduct of any appeal to independents.

But this need not be so. Indeed, armed with both the right message and the policies to back them up, McCain could approach economic issues in a way that shores up support with most fiscal conservatives while expanding his appeal to independent voters.

Read the whole thing.

Meanwhile, posting will be light here this week as I’m guest blogging for Megan McArdle over at The Atlantic.
