Our Good Friend Mark I from RS's Latest: McCain Gives and McCain Takes

By Steve Foley - Posted on May 17th, 2008

Republican presidential nominee John McCain has been giving a series of speeches recently to both define himself to the general electorate and highlight his positions on issues that he intends to campaign on in the fall..

Quote:
The speeches also have the added benefit of generating news coverage for McCain as the Democratic primary race continues to occupy most of the media’s and America’s time. McCain’s last two speeches have indeed brought exposure to his campaign; but they may have only served to remind suspicious conservatives and Republicans why they have a hard time putting their complete trust in the Arizona Republican. McCain can sound like Ronald Reagan on one day, and Al Gore on the next.
