Questions for McCain

Part of the reason McCain's campaign has pushed narrative over issues in this election is that he's walking a tightrope on some issues. Another reason, of course, is that Obama leads on some major issues. It would be difficult for McCain to discuss some of the following issues and topics without losing support of some interest group or another:

• Immigration: offend Latino voters are your republican base
  
• Regulation: offend your conservative base or independent voters who want action
  
• Prime Minister Zapatero. It appears McCain didn't understand the interviewer, but his campaign decided to insult Spain rather than exacerbate the aging/out-of-touch meme.
• Has George Bush done a good job? Actually, McCain has gotten pretty good at opposing Bush's actions because they're not conservative enough or owing to incompetence. But others haven't been so lucky.
