McCain's bipartisan pitch
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Not merely a Republican. Not merely a candidate. John McCain cast himself as a leader for all Americans, regardless of party or status. ADVERTISEMENT After several days of Democratic bashing by his supporters, the Arizona senator struck a nonpartisan stance and promised that he wouldn't be bound by political party in the White House as he accepted the GOP presidential nomination Thursday before thousands of Republican loyalists."We are fellow Americans, an association that means more to me than any other," McCain told the Republican Convention, deriding "constant partisan rancor" that causes Washington gridlock. He rejected those in Washington who he said "work for themselves and not you."McCain marched through a series of big issues — defense, taxes, education, energy independence among them — without offering many specifics. Instead, there were generic promises to "make it better," of "rewarding hard work," and the like.He marked the pinnacle of his political life by delivering a speech in his preferred setting — surrounded by people. In this case, they were the GOP convention delegates who granted him the nomination that had eluded him in 2000."I don't work for a party," he declared. "I don't work for a special interest. I don't work for myself. I work for you."The GOP nominee was making an aggressive play for voters from across the political spectrum — Republicans, independents and Democrats. And even as he preached bipartisanship, McCain served up Republican dogma to the willing crowd, on abortion, taxes, national security, oil drilling.His trick was to appeal to his conservative supporters without turning off independents.On the convention's fourth and final night, McCain's campaign transformed the stage at the Xcel Energy Center to put him in a setting in which he typically performs best. He spoke from a podium at the end of a lighted catwalk extending into the crowd, hugged by the battleground delegations of Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and Minnesota. Behind him, a hulking video screen displayed a breeze-blown flag.Even so, speechmaking has never been McCain's strong point, and his delivery Thursday clearly paled next to that of his running mate or his Democratic rivals. Pausing after each idea, McCain's delivery seemed better suited to a speech in the Senate. Barack Obama, his running mate, Joe Biden and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin had been riveting; McCain was more laundry list.The delegates didn't seem to mind if their nominee lacked Obama's rhetorical polish."This guy has more experience in his little pinkie from speaking in the Senate than Obama will ever have," said Colorado delegate Gabriel Schwartz. "It was a much better speech for what it said and the way he delivered it honestly than some smooth speech from someone who can't deliver."Seeking to give voters wary of Obama an acceptable alternative, McCain praised his Democratic rival and said that Obama's supporters had his respect and admiration."But let there be no doubt, my friends, we're going to win this election," McCain said, "and after we've won, we're going to reach out our hand to any willing patriot, make this government start working for you again, and get this country back on the road to prosperity and peace."In an arena plastered with his "Country First" slogan, McCain told the GOP's most faithful supporters that he's repeatedly worked with members of both parties to fix the country's ills."That's how I will govern as president," he said. "I will reach out my hand to anyone to help me get this country moving again. I have that record and the scars to prove it. Senator Obama does not."It was a rare mention of his rival; McCain used Obama's name only six times. And, he mentioned the words Republicans and Democrats mainly in tandem, urging the two sides to work together and trying to show how he was unafraid to take on both parties to force change.McCain ended his 50-minute speech with a call to arms: He exhorted, "Fight with me. Fight with me," as the crowd's roar of approval drowned out his voice. With music blaring and balloons cascading, McCain stopped to savor the moment, then stepped down from the podium and was swallowed up among the cheering delegates. For all his talk of reaching across the aisle, McCain got in his jabs at Obama. After all, there are only two months until Election Day. He said Obama would raise taxes, close markets, increase government spending, eliminate jobs. He criticized Obama on energy, health care, and education policies. The audience was clearly hungry for it: They booed Obama after every criticism, though there were relatively few. McCain mostly refrained from the brass-knuckled rhetoric that marked Obama's speech exactly one week earlier. wow goldcheap wow goldwow goldbuy wow goldwarcraft goldPerhaps the Republican's sharpest hit came without even a mention of his Democratic rival. "I'm not running for president because I think I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need," McCain mocked. "My country saved me. My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God." McCain has cast Obama as a presumptuous candidate, and his campaign has likened the Democrat to a would-be messiah. The Arizona senator also issued a warning "to the old, big-spending, do-nothing, me-first, country-second Washington crowd: Change is coming." That, too, was an indirect Obama reference. McCain has suggested his Democratic rival puts personal ambition above the country. In his comments, McCain left it to his audience to connect the dots. Certainly, McCain's speech wasn't as sharp as Palin's address to the delegates the night before — or a host of other speakers who came before him. Their speeches were filled with biting attacks on Obama and his Democrats. McCain, however, can't risk turning off undecided swing voters, many of whom recoil at negative campaigning. "Americans want us to stop yelling at each other," he added, trying to use the disruption to his advantage.

Obama's remark about 'Lipstick on a pig' sparks debate
WASHINGTON — Like "lipstick on a pig," the hot new debate of the presidential campaign has sparked one stunning distraction. As anyone knows, lipstick can smear.Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee running with a call for "change," insists he wasn't talking about Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, when he said this about his rivals' claims that they are the true agents of change: "You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig."The campaign of Republican Sen. John McCain is crying foul, reading sexism into the remark and demanding an apology. Yet McCain once had the same words for Sen. Hillary Clinton's health-care plans. Campaigning in Iowa last fall, McCain argued that Clinton was rehashing the old reform she had promoted as first lady: "I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."It was Palin, the governor of Alaska and mother of five, who charmed the Republican National Convention with her explanation of the difference between a "pit bull" and a "hockey mom"—"lipstick." The McCain camp contends that Obama was clearly referring to that comment, and therefore to Palin herself, with his "lipstick on a pig" remark. warhammer goldbuy warhammer goldffxi gilAION goldAION power levelingNow McCain and Palin are playing the "gender card," the Obama campaign contends. Obama spokesmen note that "putting lipstick on a pig" is a common expression for trying to dress up something bad—and Obama voiced it in the context of the candidates' economic plans —and they accuse McCain of "phony outrage."It was only a few weeks ago that the situation was in some ways reversed. Obama warned voters that his rivals would try to scare them about voting for a candidate who doesn't look like the president on a dollar bill. The McCain campaign responded that Obama had "played the race card ... from the bottom of the deck."Voters could be forgiven for thinking that the entire spat distracts voters from the real issues: the economy, the war, health care, education and much more. And, political analysts say, the endless cycle of cable news and newspapers that love a fight are playing along by focusing on absurd arguments and supercharged words.Obama sought to tap into that impulse Wednesday, after the Republicans introduced a Web ad on the topic, with some of his more impassioned language."What their campaign has done this morning is the same game that has made people sick and tired of politics in this country," Obama said. "They have seized on an innocent remark, try to take it out of context, throw up an outrageous ad, because they know it's catnip for the news media. "Enough!" he added, his voice rising. "I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and swift boat politics. Enough is enough."Some experts agreed."While we're concerned about lipstick on pigs—and pigs don't vote and have no constituency—we are missing the point," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, co-author of a new book, "Presidents Creating the Presidency," about presidential use of rhetoric. But the GOP Web ad sought to link Obama's remark with his readiness to be president. "Ready to Lead? No," it said. "Ready to Smear? Yes." Meanwhile, Jane Swift, a former Republican Massachusetts governor, stepped out with a newly formed "Palin Truth Squad" to voice the McCain team's outrage over the expression. The tempest began in Michigan on Monday, when Obama warned that McCain and Palin are trying to claim the change mantle even though their party has been in power for eight years. "How do they have the nerve to say it?" Obama asked. Later, in Virginia, Obama said, "You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig." As laughter erupted, he added, "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, and it's still going to stink after eight years."Vice President Dick Cheney said the same thing about President George W. Bush's rival, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, at the close of the 2004 campaign. On Kerry's wavering stances on the war, Cheney said: "As we say in Wyoming, you can put all the lipstick you want on a pig, but in the end of the day, it's still a pig."Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, said the expression is a common one. "The inference in that speech was ... that John McCain was dressing up old ideas," she said. "The use of 'lipstick on a pig' was a colloquial, commonplace way of saying this."
