Did McCain Plan To Unveil New Economic Proposals Today? Depends Which McCain Adviser You Ask
By Greg Sargent - October 14, 2008, 10:08AM
Senior McCain officials, hoping to dispel the sense of confusion that's emanated from the campaign over when -- or whether -- McCain would be unveiling new economic proposals, are continuing to insist that the plan has always been for McCain to announce those plans today.

Here's the latest version of events given to The New York Times by senior McCain economic adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin:

Mr. Holtz-Eakin disputed talk of disarray in the McCain campaign and said that despite reports that Mr. McCain was to announce his new economic policies on Monday and then pulled back in the midst of campaign confusion, the plan had always been for Mr. McCain to unveil the proposals on Tuesday.
But if the plan had "always" been for McCain to announce them today, why did another senior adviser -- spokesperson Tucker Bounds -- say this under 48 hours ago:

"We do not have any immediate plans to announce any policy proposals outside of the proposals that John McCain has announced, and the certain proposals that would result as economic news continues to come our way."
