John Sidney McCain and King Dollar

Maybe Tom Blumer of BizzyBlog will disagree, but I am finding very little with which I disagree in this Larry Kudlow piece on NRO on the idea that McCain should get behind the idea of strengthening the dollar.

If I am not mistaken, the relative strength of the dollar plays a particular role in inflation, which has been on the rise in this country as of late. While McCain may not be as strong on economic issues as other areas of policy, this seems like something of a no-brainer to me. As Kudlow points out, you can "sell" the idea of a strong dollar represents a strong America and that such a position is patriotic and presidential...

What do you think?
