If John McCain wants to convince Americans that he is offering a different sort of leadership, he needs to take control of his campaign.

John McCain wrapped up the Republican convention tonight by reaching out beyond the party faithful to the independents who will determine in November whether he or Barack Obama is the next occupant of the White House

Sen. John McCain's primary campaign for the Republican presidential nomination looked all but hopeless. He had risked the wrath of his party...

WASHINGTON - In John McCain's thinking, it is one thing to break the rules and quite another to break the faith.

Tonight, it's John McCain's turn. The longtime Republican maverick will officially don the mantle of GOP presidential candidate and ask a party that hasn't always backed him to do so this time.

The stakes couldn't be higher. John McCain, the Arizona senator and former prisoner of war who has bucked his party on issues including immigration and campaign finance, is set to formally claim the Republican Party’s nomination for president on Thursday night and make his case for the White House.

It's no secret that John McCain and other conservatives have not always gotten along. Whether it be the issue of immigration, tax cuts, or campaign finance reform, he seems to have found himself at odds with self-described "true conservatives" throughout his long tenure in the Senate.

He has been called a maverick, a hero, a survivor. John McCain, the longtime Arizona senator adds a new title on Thursday: Republican presidential nominee.

Bud Kennedy ST. PAUL, Minn. – A year ago, 1,300 Texas Republicans voted in a presidential straw poll. John McCain had eight votes. So much for Texas Republicans’ clout. After isolating themselves by bashing McCain as a liberal for the last year, most have begrudgingly lined up with his campaign, if only to elect religious archconservative Sarah Palin as vice president. "For the first time ever, ...

ST. PAUL, Minn. — It’s safe to say that if John McCain wants to get booed Thursday night at the Republican convention, he’ll promise to make comprehensive immigration reform a top priority as president.

McCain says the media are trying to "destroy" Palin; Lieberman and Thompson give solid speeches.

They used to bristle at the mention of his name. Now, current and former Republican members of Congress who battled John McCain in the chambers of Congress want to see him elected president.

With this presidential election being so wild, what is more appropriate than a deck of Politically Wild playing cards that show politicians, political figures and political celebrities as Wild Animals?
