Top McCain Adviser Has Found Success Mixing Money, Politics (Washington Post
6/26/08)
By Matthew Mosk; A01
As Sen. John McCain's top presidential campaign adviser, Richard H. "Rick"
Davis has worked for almost a year without compensation, telling reporters
that the sacrifice shows his dedication to the cash-strapped Arizona
Republican. He also took a protracted leave from his Washington lobbying
firm to distance himself from ethical questions.

McCain-Obama So Far: Positively Negative (Washington Post 6/26/08)
By Dan Balz; A06
A campaign between Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain once offered enormous
possibilities for something new. Instead, the two presumptive nominees have
opened their campaigns for the White House with what looks and sounds like a
repeat of the kind of politics both have promised to leave behind.

For Mother McCain, 96 Is More Than an Age: It's an Average Speed.
(Washington Post 6/26/08)
By Mary Ann Akers And Paul Kane; A17
Nothing, not even skyrocketing gas prices, seems to slow down Roberta
McCain, the indefatigable 96-year-old mother of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
and a notorious lead-foot behind the wheel. She's still speeding around like
a NASCAR driver on the last lap. Mrs. McCain told us at a recent cocktail
party that she got a $40 speeding ticket in Chevy Chase a few weeks ago.
"Don't speed up there," she warned with a wry smile.

ANALYSIS-McCain foreign policy susceptible to Obama attack (Reuters 6/25/08)

This is a live one. John McCain said he strenuously disagrees with top

A winning strategy for McCain (Boston Globe 6/26/08)
By Todd Domke
THE TRENDS are troubling for John McCain. Polls show growing support for
Barack Obama, for Democrats generally, and for change. And since Obama broke
his public financing pledge he'll have much more money than McCain for
advertising. How can McCain change the dynamic of this race?

The Obamacons Who Worry McCain (Washington Post 6/26/08)
By Robert D. Novak; A19
What is an "Obamacon?" The phrase surfaced in January to describe British
conservatives entranced by Barack Obama. On March 13 the American Spectator
broadened the term to cover all "conservative supporters" of the Democratic
presidential candidate. Their ranks, though growing, feature few famous
people. But looming on the horizon are two big potential Obamacons: Colin
Powell and Chuck Hagel. ...The Obamacon syndrome is based on hostility to
Bush and his administration and on revulsion over today's Republican Party.
The danger for McCain is that desire for a therapeutic electoral bloodbath
could get out of control.

McCain is on track with battery prize (Arizona Republic 6/26/08)

Snuggling Up to the Bundlers (NYT 6/26/08)
In his self-serving retreat from the spending restraints of public
financing, Senator Barack Obama hailed his formidable Internet army of small
donors as "a new kind of politics." Maybe so. But just in case, the senator
is not about to neglect the old politics of special-interest money bundlers
in his presidential campaign. ...Senator John McCain � who is also vying
for the mantle of reformer in chief � is opting for the public subsidies
that begin after the conventions. In the meantime, he is relying on his own
flock of special-interest bundlers to raise all the private funds he can.

U.S. to Take North Korea Off Terror List (NYT 6/27/08)

North Korea submitted a long-delayed declaration of its nuclear program on

once described as part of the "axis of evil" from the State Department's
list of state sponsors of terrorism.

By Jess Bravin
