John and Cindy McCain
toured the Philadelphia area
over a two-day period recently
in hopes of jump-starting
McCain's campaign at a time
when he lags behind in the
polls.
With Pennsylvania being
one of the battleground states
needed to win the election,
Cindy McCain, along with
Rudy Giuliani, visited Shady
Brook Farm in Lower
Makefield on Oct. 20. Also
there were Tom Manion, candidate
for U.S. Congress,
Supriya Jindal, wife of Gov.
Bobby Jindal of Louisiana,
Kitty Martinez, wife of Sen.
Mel Martinez of Florida, and
Greta Van Susteren, host of
the Fox News show, "On the
Record."
The next morning, at T.C.
Millwork in Bensalem, John
McCain made an appearance
along with his wife. The
packed crowd was enthusiastic
from the very beginning,
even hours before McCain
took the stage.
Once the music was done
playing and the crowd was
ready to listen, Manion took
the stage to introduce himself
and the McCains.
"The McCain-Palin-Manion
ticket shows a clear difference
from that of our
opponents," said
Manion. "We
will keep our
promises and
change America
in the best way.
Because of all the
courage and hope
the McCains
exhibit, John and
Cindy McCain
are the poster
family for
America."
Soon after,
Cindy McCain
took the podium
as her husband
stood to her side.
"We need a
president with
the character to
lead and John has
the character to
lead," she said,
which followed
with an uproar of
cheers and applause. "We
don't need any more empty
hopes and promises! We
teach our children the values
we stand for. Between Gov.
Palin, John and I, we have
three sons serving and protecting
our country in Iraq."
After Cindy McCain, Sen.
Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina, took the podium.
He discussed the controversial
comments Sen. Joseph
Biden made in recent days
about the experience of Sen.
