MIAMI (AP) — Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday that Republican John McCain is offering only “wishful thinking, outdated ideology” to an economy in crisis, seeking to capitalize on the main issue that is propelling him forward in the race for the White House. With the nation’s economic turmoil creating favorable conditions for Democrats exactly two weeks from Election Day, Obama has focused his final-stretch message almost entirely on that topic — and on Republican turf like economically precarious and politically significant Florida, where he spent two days campaigning. Obama said McCain’s response to the economy falls short for people worried about keeping their jobs, their homes and their lifestyles.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
