McCain Gains No Ground After 2nd Debate

If the Republican Party is to win the Presidential race, John McCain must refocus on a strong economic message. Many Americans, concerned with the bailout legislation and the overall state of the economy, are leaning toward Barack Obama's policies of economic change for middle-class and low income citizens.

If McCain is to gain any headway in crucial battleground states such as Wisconsin and Michigan, ther candidate will need to alter his economic stance or risk losing these important votes.

Obama seems to be pulling away in the polls, especially in light of the current economic condition. After a lackluster, unconvincing showing at last evening's town hall debate, it will take a major political event or a substantial shift in policy for the McCain camp to make up lost ground.
