Candy for everyone!

I took a break from bashing Senator AWOL today, but that didn't stop Steven Taylor at PoliBlog from looking deep into Kerry's new economic plan and wondering: "Now, how is any of this going to guarantee new jobs?" Short answer: it won't - and his desultory giveaways will make the federal deficit even deeper.

Political Wire noted that Kerry will be on Meet the Press this Sunday. If I know Tim Russert, he'll hammer on Kerry's economic plan and force the Senator into a corner. It should be good television.

"Of course, if Dean continues to lead Kerry in NH by 21 or more point, it will all be rather moot."

Right on.
