RNC LAUNCHES NEW WEB SITE & VIDEO

WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today launched a new Web site encouraging voters to ask Barack Obama questions about the important issues facing America.

CanWeAsk.com provides Americans with an opportunity to submit text or video questions for Barack Obama regarding the issues he has failed to address or refused to answer, including:

* Why, as an Illinois state Senator, did he vote “present” over 130 times instead of “yes” or “no” on difficult issues like abortion, crime, and guns?
* On fiscal responsibility, how he intends to pay for over $660 billion in his new spending proposals and whether he can do it without raising taxes on families and small businesses?
* Why he voted against funding for our troops after promising not to use them as pawns in a war funding debate?
* Why did he tell donors in San Francisco that the economy has driven small town voters to “cling” to guns and religion?

In Case You Missed It

Heritage Foundation Senior Policy Analyst Rea Hederman On Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) Economic Policies

Hederman: "I think John McCain has probably the most clear vision of kind of what went wrong. We know that the housing market was engaged in a bubble. So John McCain doesn't want to enact any policies that tries to prop up the bubble, that puts taxpayers on the hook for either risky lenders or risky borrowers." (CNBC's "The Call," 3/27/08)

Hederman: "John McCain is also saying, look, if you're going to come to the Federal Reserve, use the new discount window, then yes you should be regulated. I think there is bipartisan agreement that there was some regulation breakdown. But let's look at the specific problems. People that weren't regulated correctly. We can fix the system that we have now instead of sitting there and trying to bring everybody into a new regulation system that will only increase costs down the road." (CNBC's "The Call," 3/27/08)

Signs of Hope for McCain and the Gop?

In a Wall Street Journal article today, Jackie Calmes points to a recent poll which may be good news for Senator McCain and the Republican party this fall.

A couple findings in the new poll capture how conflicted Americans are. By a 13-point margin, 50% to 37%, registered voters say they would prefer a Democrat to be elected president. When asked to choose specifically between Arizona Sen. McCain and either Democrat, the results in each case are a statistical tie.

Illinois Sen. Obama edges Sen. McCain by 47% to 44%, while Sen. Clinton, of New York, beats the Republican by a near-identical 47% to 45%. The poll, which surveyed 1,012 registered voters March 7-10, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

Chief among the strengths of the Republican nominee-in-waiting is his experience with national-security issues, as a naval aviator and longtime senator. "Americans can visualize John McCain behind the desk in the Oval Office," said Mr. Hart. "The difficulty is where his policies are, and is he going to take the country where it wants to head."

Of 10 attributes measured in the poll, Sen. McCain scored highest for "being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency." Nearly two-thirds of voters agreed -- up 12 points from December, when both parties' nominating races were getting under way. His next-highest ratings, from 61%, were for strong leadership and for readiness to be commander in chief.


The fact that folks prefer a Democrat as President by 13% yet are almost equally divided when it comes to Senator McCain versus either Democratic candidate, is telling. It shows that Senator McCain has the credentials and the credibility to lead this country in the eyes of the voter.
