McCain plans for campaign break
Adviser talks about transition from primary to general

John McCain plans to come off the campaign trail in late March after wrapping up the Republican presidential nomination, his advisers say, so he can put together detailed policy proposals on health care and other subjects that would be rolled out later in the spring.

In a wide-ranging interview, McCain's de facto policy director sketched out the campaign's plans for moving from the primary to the general election. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who serves as McCain's chief economic adviser, also offered an explanation for McCain's recent admission that "the issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should."

McCain may have been making a self-deprecating joke, but the root of the statement probably lies in his self-image as an expert on national security, and his confidence in not having to similarly master every subject, Holtz-Eakin contended.

"I think he does economics well.... He is not the most spell-binding economic orator, if there is such a thing," he said.
