Look tonight for a new stage on the floor of the Excel Energy Center in St. Paul when Sen. McCain gives his prime-time acceptance speech
and becomes the Republican nominee for president. The stage has been changed so the senator can move along a walk way
that extends into the floor area where the delegates are seated. The new set up will be a town hall -like format, the type of forum where McCain excels.
What will the senator say? Nobody knows for sure but look for some of the senator’s famous straight talk as he outlines his agenda for the future, contrasts his resume with Sen. Obama and discloses to delegates, guests and millions watching more of his personal history.
John McCain is being called a “maverick.” But what is a maverick? The Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary says it’s “an independent individual
who does not go along with a group or party. Last night, Gov. Sarah Palin said of McCain: “Our nominee doesn’t run with the Washington herd. He’s a man who’s there to serve his country, and not just his party.”
