Well, it's the first time a black candidate received the nomination. I think that has to be taken into account.

Columbus Dispatch is backing McCain

For president: John McCain
A lifetime of sacrifice and service make John McCain best choice
Sunday, October 19, 2008 3:39 AM




For president of the United States, The Dispatch endorses Republican Sen. John McCain, whose experience, service and sacrifice for his country make him more qualified to lead the nation.


McCain's Democratic opponent, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, is a rousing motivational speaker, but his experience and achievements -- eight years in the Illinois Legislature and less than four in the U.S. Senate -- do not stand comparison with McCain's.

Shocker!

As if anyone didn't already see it coming, the Dogpatch has had a special "Question of the Week" prominent on the front page every week. These questions come from the most intelligent segment of our central Ohio society, highlighting such inquiries as "Is Obama really a Christian?" - "Well, No little Jimmy. He was born in Kenya and raised a Muslim terrorist."

An older article that flew under the radar about how McCain, at least in part, plans to pay for his health care tax credit:

McCain Plans Federal Health Cuts

Medicare, Medicaid Spending Would Be Reduced to Offset Proposed Tax Credit

By LAURA MECKLER

John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, a top aide said, in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 trillion over 10 years to the government programs.

The Republican presidential nominee has said little about the proposed cuts, but they are needed to keep his health-care plan "budget neutral," as he has promised. The McCain campaign hasn't given a specific figure for the cuts, but didn't dispute the analysts' estimate.

John McCain arrives at a town-hall meeting Friday at Colorado State University.

In the months since Sen. McCain introduced his health plan, statements made by his campaign have implied that the new tax credits he is proposing to help Americans buy health insurance would be paid for with other tax increases.

But Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Sen. McCain's senior policy adviser, said Sunday that the campaign has always planned to fund the tax credits, in part, with savings from Medicare and Medicaid. Those government health-care programs serve seniors, poor families and the disabled. Medicare spending for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30 is estimated at $457.5 billion...

What Colin Powell fails to tell you is that the congresswoman from Minnesota is actually very good looking.

McCain Relies on Funding Loopholes - WSJ.com

WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is relying on loopholes in campaign finance law to raise and spend money outside of the government's public funding program.

Sen. McCain's campaign appears to be doing everything it legally can to keep up with Democratic candidate Barack Obama, who opted out of the system and has been raising cash at a torrid pace.
"McCain kept his promise to stay in the public financing system," said spokesman Brian Rogers. "Obama broke his out of pure political self-interest and went on to raise $150 million in one month."
When he accepted $84.1 million in public funding for his campaign, Sen. McCain agreed to not raise or spend any other money. But the law allows him to create what's called a "compliance fund" to pay for legal fees associated with complying with campaign finance rules.
Both President George W. Bush and John Kerry created similar funds in 2004. But Sen. McCain is using his to an unprecedented degree. In 2004, Messrs. Bush and Kerry each spent about $2 million from their funds before Election Day.
On Monday night, Sen. McCain reported spending $2.4 million in September alone.
