DAVID D. Published: Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 9:10 p.m. ST. PAUL, Minn. | Sen. John McCain's primary campaign for the Republican presidential nomination looked all but hopeless. In this Sept. 8, 1982 black-and-white file photo, John McCain and wife Cindy appear before media at McCain's campaign headquarters in Mesa, Ariz. McCain was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982, the launch of his political career. Four years later he was elected to an open U.S. In this July 14, 1961 black-and-white file photo Lt. John S. McCain III, left, and his parents, Rear Admiral John S.

America, we are better than these last eight years," Obama said to thunderous applause and a sea of waving American flags and signs bearing the word "change." "We are a better country than this." He later added: "Change happens because the American people demand it — because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time. America, this is one of those moments. Without a hint of the pressure borne of the enormity of the moment, Obama also delivered on the specifics of his plan to change America, combating the criticism that had dogged his campaign for many months — that it was more about Hollywood flash than concrete policies. Our government should work for us, not against us," Obama said. "It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity, not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work. That's the promise we need to keep. Given the location, the home of football's Denv...
Bill O'Reilly informed his audience last night, 8/5/08, during the TPM , that he's bored with "gotcha" politics and plans a more "investigative"approach in September. O'Reilly tried to illustrate his objectivity by criticizing both Obama and McCain on their recent campaign moves concerning energy concluding that voters should decide. Explaining that he will begin "micro analysis" around September 8th, he singled out Obama offering a lightly veiled threat. We'll examine Obama's belief system. We'll profile his career and associations. You know what you're getting with McCain. Obama's still a mystery. O'Reilly commented that this election is a " yes or no vote on Obama." Looks like O'Reilly will continue working hard to insure a "no" vote. Previous Entry: E. D.
ST. PAUL, Minn. - "Mac is back" chanted John McCain's supporters when the Republican candidate staged his seemingly impossible comeback in this year's primaries. Last night, the old Johnny Mac was back on display, claiming his party's nomination in a setting meant to evoke his anything-goes town hall events. Standing on a narrow stage amid a sea of supporters, he reprised trademark lines and themes from his stump speech and, in a way that convention planners did not always intend, recreated the spirit and excitement of his campaign rallies. The veteran senator pledged to make the wasteful spenders in Washington famous and recalled his boast that he would "rather lose an election than see my country lose a war." It was a line first uttered when he took the unpopular position that the war in Iraq required more, not fewer, troops. McCain reinforced his image as a leader with character and backbone who understands how the world works. As he has done many times before, he spoke of himself...
