McCain Has Yet to Win Over Key Conservatives - The Wall Street Journal
Image from WikipediaMcCain Has Yet to Win Over Key Conservatives - The Wall Street Journal
Excerpt:
"On the campaign trail last week, Sen. John McCain declared at least three times that the Republican Party is "united."
But is it?
Some prominent conservatives say they remain disenchanted with the party's likely nominee. Sen. McCain isn't doing enough to persuade them of his conservative credentials, they say, or win them over to his side. Although the sentiment among conservative leaders is that they will vote for Sen. McCain come November, they aren't thrilled about the prospect."

Condoleezza Would Mull VP Job

Rice considering VP run?
"Despite saying she wants to return to Stanford University, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has let it be known in Republican circles that she would consider running for vice president if asked. One source told Newsmax that she expressed interest in the possibility when Rudy Giuliani was running for president. Another source said she has more recently let her interest be known discreetly within top Republican circles, presumably including John McCain’s camp. Fueling speculation that she would consider being on the ticket, Rice appeared for the first time this week at the so-called Wednesday meeting run by Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. Rice spoke for 20 minutes at the off-the-record meeting of conservative leaders, then took questions for 20 minutes." |

OBAMA: In the Weeks to Come, A Costly Battle on Two Fronts - Washington Post

McCain's Canal Zone Birth Prompts Queries About Whether That Rules Him Out - The New York Times
McCain's Canal Zone Birth Prompts Queries About Whether That Rules Him Out - The New York Times
Excerpt:
"Mr. McCain’s likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a “natural-born citizen” can hold the nation’s highest office.
Almost since those words were written in 1787 with scant explanation, their precise meaning has been the stuff of confusion, law school review articles, whisper campaigns and civics class debates over whether only those delivered on American soil can be truly natural born. To date, no American to take the presidential oath has had an official birthplace outside the 50 states."

McCain's Ties to Lobbyist Worried Aides - Washington Post
Excerpt:
"Members of the senator's small circle of advisers also confronted McCain directly, according to sources, warning him that his continued ties to a lobbyist who had business before the powerful commerce committee he chaired threatened to derail his presidential ambitions.
Appearing before reporters this morning in Toledo, Ohio, McCain flatly denied receiving such warnings from his aides and said he had no knowledge that Weaver or anyone else on his staff had told Iseman to keep her distance. He also denied that he and Iseman had been romantically involved, despite a report in the New York Times that his aides were concerned that such a relationship existed."
