Rupert Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger evaluates John McCain’s tax policy and responds, “This isn’t a flip-flop. It’s a sex-change operation.” The columnist goes on to ask the question of whether McCain is losing his way. Henninger writes :

What I’m asking is, does John McCain have the mental focus, the intellectual discipline, to avoid being out-slicked by Barack Obama, if he isn’t abandoned by his own voters?
 

It’s not just taxes. Recently the subject came up of Al Gore’s assertion that the U.S. could get its energy solely from renewables in 10 years. Sen. McCain said: “If the vice president says it’s doable, I believe it’s doable.” What!!?? In a later interview, Mr. McCain said he hadn’t read “all the specifics” of the Gore plan and now, “I don’t think it’s doable without nuclear power.” It just sounds loopy.

Why as well shouldn’t the Obama camp exploit all of this? If Sen. Obama’s “inexperience” is Mr. McCain’s ace in the hole, why not trump that by asking, “Does Sen. McCain know his own mind?”

…

Yes, Sen. McCain has honor and country. Another month of illogical, impolitic remarks and Sen. McCain will erase even that. Absent a coherent message for voters, he will be one-on-one with Barack Obama in the fall. He will lose.

Looks like the McCain campaign has received its wish for more media attention and being given the scrutiny that the Obama campaign has received throughout this election process.  Like we said last week, be carefule what you wish for.
