Some context on "Back To Basics"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_Basics_(campaign)">Back To Basics

The phrase has since become used by UK political commentators to describe any failed attempt by a political party leader to relaunch themselves following a scandal or controversy.

5. Yeah, he said it
I posted during the speech, sorry if it's out of context now. McCain had a line where he talked about running a "back to basics" campaign, and it rang a bell with me.
