COMMENTS: McCain Makes Few Waves with Housing Plan
The aftermath of the debate itself made very little news. ABC's George Stephanopoulos found Republican John McCain "especially frustrated" that his proposal for home mortgage relief did not create more buzz. Democrat Barack Obama seemed "overall very pleased" about his "tone and demeanor and manner." CBS had Wyatt Andrews file a Reality Check. He found McCain's claim of unique ownership for his mortgage relief proposal "exaggerated" and pointed out the incoherence of simultaneous plans to subsidize homeowners' mortgages and to freeze federal spending. McCain's zero-deficit plan would require $215bn in extra borrowing over four years; Obama's so-called revenue neutral fiscal policy would borrow $281bn in the same period.
