			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WILMINGTON, N.C. &#8211;  Sen. John McCain apparently plans to<em> </em>announce new economic proposals tomorrow.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the most recent line coming from his campaign. In a conference call with reporters today, McCain economic adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin said the Arizona senator intends to unveil &#8220;specific&#8221; measures for stabilizing the economy.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s contrary to previous reports.<span id="more-12343"></span></p>
<p>The saga began Saturday, when <a title="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14493.html" href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14493.html" target="_blank">Politico&#8217;s Mike Allen</a> reported that McCain campaign advisers had told him that the GOP presidential nominee would unveil a new tax plan this week in an effort to reinvigorate his floundering campaign.</p>
<p>Appearing on &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham seemed to confirm Allen&#8217;s report. From <a title="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385969780027561.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385969780027561.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" target="_blank">The Wall Street Journal</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It will be a very comprehensive approach to jump-start the economy by allowing capital to be formed easier in America by lowering taxes,&#8221; Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) said on CBS&#8217;s &#8220;Face the Nation.&#8221; &#8220;Now is the time to lower tax rates for investors &#8212; capital-gains tax, dividend tax rates &#8212; to make sure that we can get the economy jump-started.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>However,  <a title="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/13/us/politics/13plan.html?bl&amp;ex=1224043200&amp;en=1694b9dd225b8c71&amp;ei=5087" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/13/us/politics/13plan.html?bl&amp;ex=1224043200&amp;en=1694b9dd225b8c71&amp;ei=5087" target="_blank">The New York Times</a> reported today that no new proposals were forthcoming from the McCain campaign. Furthermore, McCain advisers said they did not know why Graham suggested there would be.</p>
<p>And now, before day&#8217;s end, we are informed that the original report could be correct.</p>
<p>These new economic proposals, if they are announced, had better be worth it, because the McCain campaign sure looks foolish and disorganized right about now.</p>
