The Obama campaign will seize on comments John McCain made at an event in Florida this morning to portray the Republican ticket as fundamentally out of touch with American voters.
McCain, speaking before a town hall meeting, said that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" before adding the caution that "these are very, very difficult times and I promise you we will never put America in this position again."
An Obama aide calls the first part of McCain's sentence "an enormous mistake," and said that the campaign will seek to amplify the comment through surrogates, principles and maybe even television ads.
