A Plague on Both Houses?

Karl Rove, an expert whose word I take seriously, comes down on both John McCain and Barack Obama for economic illiteracy. In the Wall Street Journal's Opinion Journal, he says both major-party candidates are setting themselves up to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Messrs. Obama and McCain both reveal a disturbing animus toward free markets and success. It is uncalled for and self-defeating for presidential candidates to demonize American companies. It is understandable that Mr. Obama, the most liberal member of the Senate, would endorse reckless policies that are the DNA of the party he leads. But Mr. McCain, a self-described Reagan Republican, should know better."
