“This election is not about issues.” – Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain
That in a nutshell is how Republicans win elections. They stay away from the issues, because they can’t win on them.
UPDATE: Obama’s campaign responds to McCain camp, emphasis added:
“We appreciate Senator McCain’s campaign manager finally admitting that his campaign is not in fact about the issues the American people care about, which is exactly the kind of cynical old politics people are ready to change. Senator Obama will continue to make this election about the big issues: whether tax breaks go to big corporations or middle-class families, whether we hand out giveaways to oil companies or invest in renewable energy, and whether we continue to spend $10 billion a month in Iraq or finally put an end to this war,” said Obama campaign manager David Plouffe.
