This seems like running to McCain's right on taxes to me (or attempting to do so)--Unless you define right as "only tax cuts for the rich" which itself is an indication of how well the "cut taxes" meme has been taken up by all manners of politicians.

Obama ran to McCain's right on taxes? When did this happen?

I know he attacked McCain for favoring tax cuts for the wealthy and for corporations at the cost of an overly regressive tax burden for middle class families. And Obama's attacks on McCain's plan to tax health care benefits to support a credit designed to eventually undercut employee sponsored health insurance. But I must have missed Obama's attacking McCain's tax plan from the right.

Heh, keeping track of all the tabs I open from the various Atlantic blogs is a non-trivial task in the middle of a meeting!

Not only is it in the wrong thread, but it's inaccurate to boot. Yeah, that's a winner.
