...been written about whether McCain's stubborn support of the war is weighing him down this time. I don't think so. He really believes in his position on Iraq. He has favored more troops since the beginning; he was one of the very first Republicans to criticize Donald Rumsfeld.

From Donald Segretti's campaign of dirty tricks in the employ of Richard Nixon to the Swift Boat Veterans' attack on Senator John Kerry, such tactics have debased and degraded the electoral process and turned voters off. Can't we have a campaign with integrity? Jane Dineen Hackensack, New Jersey...
