Over at Contentions, Jennifer Rubin notes that John McCain leads Mitt Romney among Survey USA respondents who said the economy is the most important issue facing the country. "Could it be that Romney comes across as too corporate or too upscale and is now attempting a slight course correction?" Rubin asks. Maybe. If these numbers hold true, we may be seeing something similar to what happened in New Hampshire, when McCain won voters who strongly disapprove of the Iraq war. Which is to say: Romney is right to perceive that the primary electorate desires change. The problem may turn out to be that much of it does not see him as a change agent.
