My conservative father-in-law has been making this point for months.
I think the McCain folks recognize that it's not going to play in hard-hit economic areas. Plus, it was Bush's line, so it's been a tad discredited. What is McCain's positive policy here? Is it just Bush, or is it something different? If it's just Bush, it's electoral poison. If it's something different, how is it different in principle from Obama? My feeling is McCain's recent economic stuff looks more socialist than Obama's. That's why the right wasn't into his "buy and re-negotiate the bad mortgages" thing. And I agree with them on this one!
