Probably political timing for maximum publicity. The Democrats have pretty much chosen their nominee, although the Kabuki Theatre will continue for another few weeks.
McCain needs something to keep him in the news.
—
There has been a push by McCain the last few days to get his message out on many issues via his speeches and such.
Got to keep stirring the cauldron or the spoon sticks to the bottom, hillary knows how to do it quite well... but even Chelsea and WonderBubba couldn’t push her fat arse uphill on the WH donkeycart.
I read in a Thomas Sowell column that Obama was an organizer for ACORN!!!!!
LOL
ACORN a commie front group!
Exactly, I don't understand this about McCain... he's a bit TOO modest.
And I believe he has two courageous sons (both Marines?) serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. He really should bring that up once in awhile. The MSM certainly won't mention anything good about McCain (or any Republican)...
McCain would only be the first POW to become president, while the democrats offer the first WOMAN or first BLACK president, those are the real achievements Americans are interested in.
YES! I know that! But, doesn’t seem it matters....read his website....it reads like he’s the savior of the world with all the “programs” he has to save us.....no mention of HOW, of course....
“No, I’m not impressed with John McPain.”
It’s a cruel world. It’s going to be McCain or Obama. I guess we can still be comewhat grateful the choice isn’t Hitler or Stalin.
If you look at what was released, it is less than what Kerry made public.
It is simply *some* of the citations for his medals, not really his “military records.”

If they do, it ain’t gonna be the white house any more, it gonna be the black house. First thing he’s gonna do, he gonna rename it.
He is walking the walk, I will say that for him.
Worth reading the full article.
people who served in the military do not go around bragging...we did what we felt we had to do, and that is it...if you run into someone bragging, begin to doubt their stories (unless you have served, you would not understand this)
And an admiral or general in your family tree. ;)
It ain’t over yet for Hillary.
Obama has locked up nothing.
There is still plenty of room for the treachery of team Clinton...give it time.
Oh I know, the conventions are a lifetime away still.
Clintons will be Clintons. lol
Uh, don't think the AP was being modest for McCain. They had to down down the first sentence somehow, they couldn't stand the thought of actually blaring "Hey, Barack Obama is out crowing about busing women to political rallies but John McCain actually put his life on the line, paid dearly, and duly received this nation's highest honors!"
It makes me sick hearing Michelle Obama angrily declare Obama "bused women ... so they could fing their voices" Being a leftist troublemaker is hardly presidential timber.
Disagree on many levels. As the son of an Admiral, John is quite aware of the special attention the son of an important person might receive should they become captive. Reason one to keep it low key.
Second, and I'll give him full credit for this, he doesn't want to use their faithful service for his own political gain. Others might mention it for him, but it would be a huge mistake for John to trumpet this.
Third, if he singles out his sons, then what about the brave Marines serving with them? They're ALL heroes and John would be smart to answer any questions that way.
and so forth
Get over it already! Check it out...his former wife, Carol, supports him...besides, they were separated when he met Cindy. And, after all, Ronald Reagan was separated from Jane Wyman when he met Nancy Davis and Wyman supported him as well. You don't know what went on in McCain's marriage; and neither do the hard right wingers who write about this crap!
