Politico:
McCain's camp suffers from a paper gap
...many of the domestic policy plans of John McCain have been notably short on details.
... But when it comes to the metric of paper produced, McCain trails Obama in spelling out the nitty-gritty.
"The Obama people are much more detailed," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan advocacy group dedicated to balancing the budget.
Consider McCain campaign senior adviser Taylor Griffin’s description of his candidate's plan for fixing Social Security: "The history of the Social Security debate has taught that too many specifics, especially during a presidential campaign, has polarized the debate," he said of the program that McCain called "an absolute disgrace [that's] got to be fixed."
Will he contrast his plan to that of his opponent?
"Sen. McCain believes this is so important that we do not politicize this debate during an election season."
What, then, is the plan? There doesn't appear to be a page dedicated to it on the McCain website, though some details can be gleaned from the page dedicated to his plan to balance the budget by 2013...
"He has not offered very much in specifics that I have seen," Brian Riedl, a budget analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said about McCain's Social Security plan.
