Two weeks ago I wrote about John McCain's almost complete lack of an education platform, despite his support during his 2000 run for an aggressive federal experiment in private school vouchers. Today at the Ed in '08 Summit, we've heard that the McCain campaign has put off finalizing its education program until late summer or early fall. That's according to Richard Whitmire, an education writer on the USA Today editorial board and president of the Education Writers Association, who was supposed to meet with McCain's folks to learn more about his education plans, but had his meeting canceled.
