...saying free media, or anything a campaign doesn't pay for.) "And so we will try to use that advantage." In recent weeks, the campaign has relaunched what advisers call the "Straight Talk Express," a time when groups of three or four reporters head to the front of the plane, or the back of the bus, for open-ended interviews. The technique exposes McCain to danger. His December admission that "economics is not something I've understood as well as I should" came during one such back of the bus session.

Jump managing associate Dev Patnaik walked the GE people through hangars and later sent them to a toy store; one brought back a model plane attached to a plastic landing strip. The executive, Patnaik recalls, said, "This is it--this is the problem with executive jets!"
