CONCORD, N.C., Oct. 18 -- Sen. John McCain and several of his key advisers began sharpening a new line of attack against Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday -- likening the Democratic presidential nominee's tax proposals to socialism and saying they would not be welcomed by average, working-class Americans.

Mike Duncan, chairman of the Republican National Committee, November 5, 2008:

Nothing like a little event called a national election to clarify one's perception of political philosophy, eh?
