McCain Expected to Be A War Hero Tonight

I kid. I'm sure we'll get more of that. But McCain also expects to say other stuff and apparently, he has some sort of vision. I wonder if they'll get some class tonight:

CNN: McCain is set to speak during the 10 p.m. ET hour and will lay out his vision for America.

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and McCain's wife, Cindy McCain, will all have significant roles in the lead-up to McCain's speech.

Graham is one of McCain's closest friends in the Senate, while Ridge was said to have been on the Arizona senator's shortlist of vice presidential prospects.

According to prepared remarks, Ridge will discuss McCain's "unique qualifications for the presidency."

"I speak to you about a warrior who has sometimes stood alone ... and always shown the way ... in fighting for the most vulnerable of our citizens, for the country he so dearly loves and for the founding principles we all so deeply cherish," he is expected to say.

In the meantime, here are some media myths about McCain.
Also heard at the convention today, McCain may not free Ms. Mooseburger for interviews. She may just do town halls. No Meet the Press, no TV news shows, no scrutiny.

Cindy McCain's Speech Written by Obama Critic's Wife

George Will, a big critic of Obama, disclosed yesterday on Meet the Press that his wife Mari Manseng is writing Cindy McCain's speech. Just an interesting tidbit.
Cindy McCain is headlining the convention tonight with Laura Bush.

CNN: The two expressed their support for those affected by the storm when they spoke to the Louisiana delegation to the convention Monday morning, just hours after Hurricane Gustav came ashore.

"America stands with you during this trying time," Cindy McCain, wife of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, said. "And from all of us here, as you know, we have gathered together and ... we committed ourselves to making sure that we raise funds, we raise goods, anything else that will be needed on behalf of those people that are affected so desperately by this tragedy."

Bush, who traveled often to the Gulf Coast region to encourage the rebuilding of school districts damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, said he hopes children would be able to return to school quickly after the storm passes.

"We can't believe that just three years almost to the date and another hurricane is coming in. We're all praying that the damage will not be that bad, that people will be able to get right back home," Bush said. "We're all praying. I know you can do it again."
