Proposed Op-Ed piece for Monday, August 4th:

Since melanoma is 20 times less common among blacks than whites, could Sen. Obama's skin color be a liability? In a country with a light skinned majority, Obama's relative safety from skin cancer might have some Americans wondering whether he is truly like them... Sen. McCain likely contracted melanoma during his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Proposed Op-Ed piece for Tuesday, August 5th:

Sen. Obama's Senate financial disclosure form indicated that he doesn't have any debt. Meanwhile, at the end of 2007, household debt of American families reached a record 133.7% of disposable income. This might have some Americans wondering whether he is truly like them... Sen. McCain's financial disclosure form showed over $100,000 in credit card debt, debt McCain likely incurred as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Proposed Op-Ed piece for Wednesday, August 6th:

With the housing crisis putting a damper on the American economy, could the fact that Sen. Obama never defaulted on a housing payment be a liability? Obama's financial responsibility might have some Americans wondering if he understands the housing crisis... With nine houses, Sen. McCain understands the strains of making housing payments, having himself defaulted on the taxes of one of his homes, a payment he likely missed because he was a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Proposed Op-Ed piece for Thursday, August 7th:

But in a nation where the unemployment rate rose once again to 5.7% in July, could Sen. Obama's insistence on maintaining his Senate job while running for President be a liability? That Obama even has a place to show up to work might have some Americans wondering if he is like them... Sen. McCain has shown solidarity with workers falling on hard times by not working in the Senate since April 9th of this year... Because Sen. McCain is reluctant to talk about it, the Wall Street Journal editorial board believes it is important that readers know he was a prison of war in Vietnam.
