OMG -- Democrats Attacking McCain!

By Matthew Yglesias
The 3AM conceit is nonsensical in this context, but good for Hillary Clinton, breaking stride with the general tenor of the Democratic campaign and going after John McCain: See web-only content:

McCain is very unpersuasive on economics, this is the weak point of his reputation with the national press corps, and Democrats have a lot of ex ante credibility on the issue. It's on security stuff where McCain has a glowing, but utterly undeserved, reputation that desperately needs some tarnishing. Still -- good for Clinton!
