SIMI VALLEY - Sen. John McCain solidified his front-runner status for the Republican nomination Wednesday, sparring with an aggressive Mitt Romney in a feisty debate at the Reagan Library and securing key bicoastal endorsements from Rudy Giuliani and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. In a debate dominated by attacks and counterattacks between McCain and chief rival Romney, McCain appeared to take the upper hand.
The endorsements of three key newspapers and Sen. Joe Lieberman is giving renewed energy - and possibly a political boost - to Sen. John McCain's uphill Republican presidential bid. They came at a time when, by most recent measures, he remains an also-ran in the kickoff Iowa caucuses, though a clear contender in his bid to repeat his 2000 triumph in New Hampshire.
Sarah Palin is hot right now, and considering she's the governor of Alaska, that's not easy to pull off. In recent months, the national media have been giving Palin a lot of ink as a potential running mate for John McCain, with conjecture and endorsements coming from such outlets as The New York Times, the American Spectator and USA Today.
Notes, quotes and anecdotes about Tuesday's election while wondering: If Sarah Palin hates the media elite so much, why did she major in journalism and become one of us? Endorsements box score -- According to Editor & Publisher, U.S. newspapers' presidential endorsements -- as of Friday -- included 240 for Barack Obama and 114 for John McCain. In total circulation, it was about 21 million for Obama and about 7 million for McCain.
STOCKTON, Calif. - Republican John McCain has rejected endorsements from two influential but controversial televangelists, saying there is no place for their incendiary criticisms of other faiths. McCain rejected the months-old endorsement of Texas preacher John Hagee Thursday after an audio recording surfaced in which the preacher said God sent Adolf Hitler to help Jews reach the promised land. McCain called the comment "crazy and unacceptable.
Across America, dozens of newspapers - including some traditional Republican ones - are endorsing Democrat Barack Obama for president. Editor & Publisher magazine says the trend is 3 to 1 in Obama's favor, with 51 endorsements for him (by papers totaling 6.3 million circulation), compared to just 16 for GOP nominee John McCain (by papers with 1.5 million subscribers). The Chicago Tribune, long a Republican bastion, made history by backing a Democrat for its very first time (see below). The paper declared: "We have tremendous confidence in his intellectual rigor, his moral compass and his ability to make sound, thoughtful, careful decisions. He is ready.
DES MOINES (AP) - Two Iowa newspapers announced endorsements Sunday, offering their support for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican John McCain. The Hawk Eye in Burlington and Quad-City Times in Davenport reached the same conclusions.
Six months of trying to outflank Sen. John McCain from the right produced less support, less money, fewer endorsements and lower poll numbers than J.D. Hayworth and his dedicated followers had anticipated. First, it was former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the tea party icon whose Arizona admirers are largely backing Hayworth. Then it was Arizona Right to Life and the National Rifle Association, endorsements that pack a punch in Republican primaries. Most recently, the revered National Review gave its imprimatur to McCain, though the publication and the senator haven't always agreed on the issues.
In 2007 [John McCain] told the Boston Globe, "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." He has acknowledged that economics is not his strong suit. So he turned to people he has called "real strong economic minds"-people like Phil Gramm-for advice. Gramm was McCain's campaign co-chair and top economic adviser until he was forced to resign for his "this is a mental recession" and "we've become a nation of whiners" remarks. Gramm, the former Texas senator who pushed banking deregulation as chair of the Senate Banking Committee and then left for (surprise!) a top banking job, engineered the deregulated system that has fostered much of our current banking/housing meltdown. Deregulation and corporate consolidation also produced the savings and loan debacle,...
Even more telling is the renewed front-runner status of Republican John McCain and President Bush's call for a $145 million stimulus package for the ailing economy. Though nobody but the most hateful and venomous of the right could ever label Bush and McCain as "liberals" both men share one thing in common: they do not support the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants from this country or the complete moratorium on those from other cultures and races entering the United States - like say the way former GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo called for before being soundly ousted by Republican primary voters early in the contest. Enthusiasm for [Barack Obama] and [Hillary Clinton] have drawn record numbers of new voters into the process. You can see it in the faces of the young st...
