McCain's debate statement about freezing federal spending will hurt him in Virginia

[Alhena]

lots of federal workers live in Northern Virginia. If you freeze an agency's spending like McCain promised to do, that is virtually guaranteed to result in unpaid furloughs and the like. Obama would be smart to find a way to target federal workers with that info.

1. It should hurt him all over ...

... because it was such a rash statement. He can't do a spending freeze... and her certainly can't do one and still accomplish his other objectives, like energy production.

They are lookin' to tie the hands of the next President.
