[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Garamond, Times]McCain's Surge
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Verdana, Times]
John McCain is the electable Republican, and the only thing standing between a Democrat/socialists dominated government. As Joe Lieberman (D/I)stressed endorsing John McCain for President, his Senate colleague would always elevate his country above his party. Something we desperately need when Congress can only agree enough to take on steroids in Baseball during this time of so many crisis.
McCain has also pledged to "stop out-of-control federal spending." He repeatedly cites the example of a $233 million 'bridge to nowhere' that taxpayers funded for a bridge to an Alaskan island of only 50 residents.
"It will never happen again when I'm president" said McCain.
The McCain message -- both tough and independent -- appeals cross party lines, like to Andy Everman, 46, a Democrat who said he will vote for McCain.
McCain is the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and an outspoken supporter of the surge in Iraq, reminded the throngs in East Lansing and Howell that he first promoted a surge strategy to send thousands of additional troops to Iraq that President Bush adopted. McCain said the strategy is working.
"We will never surrender when I'm president of the United States; they will" said McCain, 71, a former naval aviator who spent five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
"If I have to follow him to the gates of hell, I will, and I will get Osama bin Laden."
In a strange way, the elements of the primary campaign have conspired to give McCain a second shot at the nomination... Can McCain take advantage of that? He has admitted error on two key positions that generated considerable ire among Republicans: tax cuts and immigration. His position on cuts now unreservedly recognizes the economic boost that Bush's reductions created, and says he will defend them as President. Only that they need to be accompanied by spending cuts. And on immigration he will focus on the borders first...
McCain has been magnificent on the war and on spending. He has bucked his own party on what turned out to be a poor strategy in post-war Iraq and fought hard for the White House when they finally took his advice. For porkbusting, one could not find a better candidate, one who has already fought in the trenches as a member of the Commerce Committee against the thinly-veiled bribery system that has gripped Congress.
McCain has cross party appeal, a must to win the election...
Karysa Trombley, an 18-year-old Jackson resident whose husband is at submarine training classes with the Navy, said McCain's "military experience (would) make him an excellent" president.
"He understands what it's about and he's committed to the military, which is important to me," she said.
Those qualities have rightly kept him in contention -- but will they be enough for him to prevail?

McCain Endorsements...
First, the New Hampshire Union Leader called him "the man to lead America."
Next, the Des Moines Register and Boston Globe gave him their support. Then, former Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Lieberman joined Team McCain. Emphasizing his cross party positives, as a canidate who has the connections, the record of being able to tackle partisanship, and get bipartisan legislation passed in Congress. John McCain is also the pick of S. Carolina's largest paper. Now also even the NY Times has endorsed John McCain.
John McCain is the electable Republican, the only thing standing between a Government completely run amok with socialist social engineering.
