Something I Don't Understand

I get sticking to McSame as a campaign theme, and think it will pay benefits in November. But why isn't Obama running ads 24/7 in FL, VA, MI, CO and NV touting his tax cuts and comparing them to what McCain is offerring? These things are very popular. It's definitely substantive in the way the press defines the term. It's a win in terms of a "comparison" ad. And yet the people at large know little about the plan. At the very least putting that on for 2 weeks would make the press corps aware of it and focus on it a bit. Why aren't they highlighting this more?

UPDATE: Yes, this, exactly. That's what the campaign needs to do more effectively. And I think the tax cut is a central part, maybe the central part, of an effective "solutions" campaign narrative.
