...McCain campaign's new message dovetailed with two themes the campaign had already been planning to promote at the Republican convention--his desire to improve the quality of government and his determination to excite Americans to increase their participation in service for the public good. During a Sunday interview with NBC News, McCain said he was even considering accepting his party's nomination Thursday not from the convention floor in St. Paul as planned, but via satellite from somewhere in the storm ravaged region. The opening slate of convention speakers Monday, which included an address by President Bush, was also...
...Palin, McCain was quick to highlight Palin's gender, calling her "a devoted wife and mother of five." Palin's husband and five children, the latest of whom was born just months ago, followed her out onto the podium.

The candidate who used to spend hours kibitzing with reporters refused to acknowledge that anything has changed. "I don't know what you're talking about," McCain said, staring blankly at a press aide, without even a wink...
Could John McCain really not have settled yet on a running mate, just 24 hours before he's scheduled to unveil his choice at a big rally in Dayton, Ohio? That's what he said in a radio interview today. It's certainly possible. McCain is an instinctive politician, known to make decisions privately and then spring them on his aides as a fait accompli. If the presumptive GOP nominee is having a hard time making up his mind - or if he's considering whether to roll the dice by making a dramatic, unexpected choice - he could be keeping...
