McCain tries to get a little limelight.....

John McCain is staging a "much touted" speech tonight from New Orleans. Supposedly, it's intended to lay out the differences between McCain and Obama, but I think CNN probably hits closer to the truth, "McCain to highlight differences with Bush in New Orleans."

So, the official campaign launches with McCain trying to defend himself against being linked to Bush? Or does he just go nuts and attack Obama?

I don't see how he wins this.

(And if you've been watching the McCain crew over the last few days, you can bet that he's going praise Clinton effusively to try and poach some of her angry supporters.)
