This week Sen. John McCain’s campaign released a video montage of what they claimed was evidence of a love affair that the media has going on with Sen. Barack Obama. This of course is due to how much television and radio play has come from Obama’s trip to the Middle East and Europe. While a media throng has followed Obama halfway around the globe, one reporter greeted McCain’s airplane at a recent New Hampshire campaign stop.

But the voters in working-class enclaves such as this still are a sought-after prize in presidential politics, and many are belatedly backing Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
In the Democratic primaries, working-class whites consistently supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Later po... more
Former Republican Governor William Milliken is having second thoughts about that McCain endorsement: "He is not the McCain I endorsed," said Milliken, reached at his Traverse City home Thursday. "He keeps saying, ’Who is Barack Obama?’ I would ask the question, ’Who is John McCain?’ because his campaign has become rather disappointing to me. "I’m disappointed in the tenor and the personal attacks on the part of the McCain campaign, when he ought to be talking abo... more
COLUMBUS, OH - Mayor Mike Coleman of Columbus, who introduced Barack Obama at his final event of a busy two day Ohio bus tour, accused the McCain campaign of voter intimidation in the Buckeye State.
“John McCain will do all he can to appeal to the forces of division and fear,” Coleman warned the crowd of 12,000. “Just yesterday I learned that in Greene County, Ohio, the sheriff there by the name of Sheriff Fischer is investigating every single early vote taken in Greene County.... more
What would you ask John McCain? What would you say to John McCain and John Kline when they’re together in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District this afternoon? Would you say it’s time for our country to change course? Would you tell them we want to bring our troops home from Iraq?
