Two people arguing while watching McCain on CNN

Two guys at work were taking a break in front of a television watching a McCain Town Hall in New Jersey.  One was arguing that taxing the rich is crazy because the rich are the engine of productivity in our society.  The other argued that, as the rich benefit from society, they need to support it by paying more taxes.

The entrepeneurial one ripe for McCain's message was the African American.  This should, at some level, surprise nobody, but I think we cannot emphasize the point enough-- McCain should continue to run a campaign that focuses on issues, avoids the identity politics of the Democrats, and excludes nobody.

Oh, and bonus points to McCain for going to a Town Hall in New Jersey.

And CNN ran a lovely message underneath along the lines of "McCain says he regrets that Obama refused his invitation to joint Town Hall meetings."
