McCain Gets Praise, Not Backing, From Grahams (NYT 6/30/08)
By ROBERT D. McFADDEN
Senator John McCain, who has had trouble courting faith-based voters, went
to the mountaintop on Sunday — Billy Graham's Blue Ridge mountaintop retreat
in western North Carolina, that is — and met with the evangelist and his son
the Rev. Franklin Graham for a private, 45-minute conversation.

McCain's Delicate Immigration Dance (TIME 6/30/08)
By Michael Scherer
Back on the campaign trail late last year, amid snow drifts and ice storms,
candidate Tom Tancredo spoke often about the possibility of defecting from
the Republican Party if its eventual nominee failed to meet his benchmarks
of conservatism, most importantly a zero-tolerance policy for undocumented
immigrants.

Some on left target McCain's war record (Politico 6/30/08)
By: Ben Smith
The highest voltage third rail of this presidential campaign may not be
race, sex, or age, but Senator John McCain's military service. McCain's
campaign Sunday issued a pair of outraged statements after retired general
and Barack Obama supporter Wesley Clark said he didn't think that McCain's
service as a fighter pilot and prisoner of war was relevant to running the
country.

McCain To Press Obama on Iraq (Atlantic Online 6/30/08)
By Marc Ambinder
Look for the McCain camp this week to start predicting that Obama will
change his position on Iraq and to press the case that Obama has
flip-flopped on a half dozen issues within the space of a month. (McCain, in
his remarks yesterday, previewed this line of attack).

A Win by McCain Could Push a Split Court to Right (Washington Post 6/29/08)
By Robert Barnes; A01
For much of its term, the Supreme Court muted last year's noisy dissents,
warmed to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.'s vision of narrow, incremental
decisions and continued a slow but hardly steady move to the right. But as
justices finished their work last week, two overarching truths about the
court remained unchanged: It is sharply divided ideologically on some of the
most fundamental constitutional questions, and the coming presidential
election will determine its future path.

Candidates Court Latino Leaders (Washington Post 6/29/08)
By Amy Goldstein; A09
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) yesterday accused Republican Sen. John McCain of
retreating from a comprehensive overhaul of immigration laws that the
senator from Arizona had championed in Congress, contending that his rival
for the White House "walked away" from his own legislation to win the GOP
presidential primary.

For McCain, Airliner Interior as Campaign Motif (NYT 6/29/08)
By MICHAEL COOPER
For several months, Senator John McCain has struggled, with mixed success,
to preserve the feeling of the scrappy and sometimes irreverent primary
campaign style that helped make him the presumptive Republican presidential
nominee. ...But this week his campaign will try to restore a little of the
old McCain style when it unveils his new campaign airplane, the flying
Straight Talk Express.

Eureka! Where Do I Cash the Check? (NYT 6/29/08)
By GEORGE JOHNSON
...last week... John McCain called for the government to offer a prize ...
to the inventor of a battery so compact, powerful and inexpensive that it
would supplement or even supplant the need for fossil fuels. Barack Obama
quickly derided the proposal...On one level the rhetoric was a replay of the
old standoff between Big Government and the virtues of entrepreneurship. But
it also raised deeper questions, like how best can the government finance
and direct basic research without stifling something as mercurial as the
spirit of invention.

Defense hawk McCain also proves a tough military critic (Boston Globe
6/29/08)
By Bryan Bender
In more than two decades in Congress, Senator John McCain has earned a
reputation as a leading defense hawk, using his perch on the powerful Armed
Services Committee and his war-hero status to advocate for a stronger
military. But in the plush office towers of some of America's leading
defense companies, the recipients of billions of dollars of Pentagon
contracts each year, the presumptive Republican nominee for president has
another label: persona non grata.

By LIBBY QUAID
John McCain squinted in the midday sunshine as he crossed the meandering
Alabama River aboard the Gee's Bend ferry, smiling at a dozen elderly black
women who clasped his hands and crooned gospel hymns. The ferry began
running in 2006 with $3 million in federal dollars — money the senator voted
against — four decades after whites eliminated ferry service to stop black
residents from crossing to the county seat to register to vote.

Three hours after John McCain's campaign bus left General Motors' plant in

"We're a working-class factory," said 49-year-old Greg George. "McCain calls
himself moderate, but his party has been a disaster for working people over
the past eight years."

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), in which McCain expressed support for overturning
Roe v. Wade, while also noting that the action "would condemn young women to
dangerous and illegal operations":

McCain: Maverick, or more of same? (St. Petersburg Times 6/28/08)
By Wes Allison
...At a time when the Republican president's approval ratings are in the
cellar, it's helpful for the Republican vying to replace him to have a
certain reputation: maverick. But McCain's 21-year record in the U.S.
Senate, as well as many of the positions he has taken as a candidate, shows
he is a solid conservative who generally supports the Republican orthodoxy.

Mrs. McCain, San Diego County Would Like a Word (NEWSWEEK 6/28/08)
By Suzanne Smalley, Andrew Murr, Mark Hosenball and Nathan Dinsdale
When you're poor, it can be hard to pay the bills. When you're rich, it's
hard to keep track of all the bills that need paying. It's a lesson Cindy
McCain learned the hard way when NEWSWEEK raised questions about an overdue
property-tax bill on a La Jolla, Calif., property owned by a trust that she
oversees. Mrs. McCain is a beer heiress with an estimated $100 million
fortune and, along with her husband, she owns at least seven properties,
including condos in California and Arizona.

DNC Releases New Web Video: 'McCain vs. McCain: Immigration Reform'
(PRNewswire-USNewswire 6/28/08)
Following the debate on immigration reform that John McCain had with himself
at today's meeting of the National Association of Latino Elected Officials,
the Democratic National
Committee released a new web video called "McCain vs. McCain:
Immigration Reform." During this campaign, McCain has abandoned his support
for comprehensive immigration reform to pander to the right wing of his
Party. After adopting an enforcement-first approach that he previously said
wouldn't work, McCain even promised to vote against the bipartisan bill that
bears his name if came up for a vote.

Ad Watch: McCain energy ad short on specifics (AP 6/27/08)
...The ad blends patriotism and a can-do attitude to try to respond to
people's anger over high gasoline prices. It promises to lower prices at the
pump, but provides nothing that would, in fact, do that. It calls for
reducing America's dependence on foreign oil, but studies project that even
with increased domestic production and greater use of biofuels such as
ethanol, the United States will continue to rely on imports for more than
half of its motor fuels and be subject to global oil market pressures on the
price.

OPINIONS AND EDITORIALS
Beyond Guantanamo (Washington Post 6/30/08)
THE SUPREME Court's recent decision to allow those held at the U.S. prison
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to challenge their detentions in federal court
triggered the beginning of what could have been a welcome debate about
terrorism policy between the presumptive presidential nominees. Too bad that
the exchange quickly descended into name-calling and evasion, with
surrogates for Republican John McCain calling Democrat Barack Obama "naive"
for applauding the decision and Mr. Obama asserting that Republicans lacked
the moral authority to criticize him because they had engineered the
"distraction of the war in Iraq" instead of tracking down the culprits in
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

predictably denounces Obama's call for direct talks with Iran, while his

"unilateral cowboy summitry."

On Language: Gaffe (NYT 6/29/08)
By WILLIAM SAFIRE
...Asked about Hillary Clinton's false memory of being under sniper fire at
a Bosnian airport... John McCain said: "I have misspoken from time to time,
and so I think she just misspoke. ... McCain's admission that economics was
not his strong suit makes it into the gaffe tank because he was chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee for six years and such modesty now haunts him.
Contrariwise, his statement that U.S. forces might be in Iraq for "100
years," seized upon as a gaffe by Obama supporters, lends itself to
counterattack as a smear because the tape exists to show the phrase was
taken out of context.

to military experts — and to itself.
