Democratic Strategist

Appropos of my suggestion yestereday that John McCain may be repeating John Kerry's 2004 mistake of placing too much emphasis on his military biography, it's interesting to note that he is about to begin what his campaign calls a "biography tour.":

The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting begins a "biography tour" next week, visiting schools and military installations "that have played a significant role in shaping who I am today," as McCain put it in a fundraising letter.

One such "tour" probably can't do McCain much harm. But if his whole campaign becomes a "biography tour," he could well be in trouble.
