This is the exact type of issue that John McCain needs to be pounding the table on. There is no greater example of the "old kind of politics" than this $300 billion dollar special interest boondoggle that distorts markets and amounts to welfare for the rich. Barack Obama is for it, and McCain is against it. He would be an agent of change on farm subsidies, and make conservatives swoon in the process. What better way to expose the Obama myth than to raise hell over this disgraceful bill that benefits a tiny fraction of voters?
