Pretty straightforward question... Plastic surgery on the nose to alter its appearance. BTW, including a few URL's to pics of the side of his face (showing side of nose) couldn't hurt your best answer chances .

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.

Hurricane Ike, forecast to strengthen today, churned across the Gulf of Mexico toward Texas, prompting President George W. Bush to declare an emergency for the state and oil companies to shut offshore platforms. Texas Governor Rick Perry readied 1,350 buses to evacuate residents in preparation for Ike's landfall, expected north of Corpus Christi on Sept. 13. As many as 7,500 National Guard members are on standby for rapid deployment, the governor's office said. world of warcraft goldffxi gilworld of warcraft power levelingwow power levelingwarhammer online gold``This is going to be a major threat for coastal Texas,'' said Eric Wilhelm, a senior meteorologist for private forecaster AccuWeather.com in State College, Pennsylvania. Ike's eye was estimated to be about 645 miles (1,040 kilometers) east of Brownsville, Texas, and moving west- northwest at 9 miles an hour, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an advisory at 1 a.m. Houston time today. It strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 100 mph, up from 80 mph yesterday. The hurricane center said Ike may become a ``major hurricane,'' meaning a Category 3 storm with wind speeds of at least 111 mph, as early as today. The storm is forecast to sweep through the center of the Gulf, missing the offshore Louisiana oil and natural gas fields. The Gulf is home to about a quarter of U.S. oil production. `Large and Dangerous' ``I cannot rule out Ike becoming a very large and dangerous Category 4 hurricane,'' said Jim Rouiller, a meteorologist with Planalytics Inc. in Wayne, Pennsylvania, referring to the second-strongest storms on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, which pack winds from 131 to 155 mph. Officials in Corpus Christi, a city of about 277,000 people, yesterday advised people to evacuate. The city last called for an evacuation in 2005, when Hurricane Rita threatened to strike. Voluntary evacuations are also in effect for Galveston, San Patricio, Aransas and Victoria counties and parts of Jackson County. Officials have ordered mandatory evacuations for Brazoria and parts of Matagorda County, according to Perry's office. The potential for destruction from Hurricane Ike has caused refiners to begin shutting plants near Houston and producers to evacuate platforms in the Gulf. Some rigs, refineries and platforms shut down by Hurricane Gustav last week are staying closed. Gulf operators have evacuated personnel from 63 percent of the production platforms, the Minerals Management Service said yesterday. Refineries in Corpus Christi process more than 586,000 barrels of crude a day, representing about 3.7 percent of U.S. capacity, according to Energy Department data. The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the biggest U.S. oil- import terminal handling 13 percent of imports, said it closed marine operations because of Ike. Crude oil for October delivery rose as much as $1.37, or 1.3 percent, to $103.95 a barrel. It was at $103.50 a barrel at 11:49 a.m. Singapore time on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
