Female McCain supporters launch Georgia campaign By BEN SMITH The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 07/24/08 Women supporting John McCain on Thursday launched campaigns in five Georgia cities on behalf of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Georgia first lady Mary Perdue and state GOP chairwoman Sue Everhart bookended the opening and closing of a meeting of roughly 120 supporters, most of them women, at a downtown Atlanta hotel. Similar events took place in Augusta, Savannah, Macon and Columbus.

Fiorina urged audience members to ignore "conventional wisdom" that widespread voter discontent with President Bush about the state of economy and high gas prices will ultimately doom McCain's presidential bid. Fiorina also predicted McCain will attract many women voters to his campaign, even if they disagree with the GOP presidential candidate on such issues as abortion. "I happen to be pro-life," Fiorina said. "There are many women in this country who are not, and yet many of them will support John McCain." "John McCain understands the role and importance of strong and powerful women," she said. Fiorina's remarks followed her appearance at a conference across the hall where she spoke to more 350 businesswomen and advocates for women's issues from across the country. McCain's Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, also sent a surrogate. Retired Lt. Gen. Claudia Kenne

Laura's Daily E-Blast - July 25, 2008                    EUROPE FAWNS, AMERICA YAWNS: The political transformationis underway. The world is hungry for change ... or maybe it's just a bunch of screaming Germans hungry for sausages and beer.                   Make no mistake: Barack Obama's speech in Berlin's Tiergarten park was one of the most revealing and, frankly, terrifying moments of the campaign so far. We witnessed a man who may very well be the next president of the United States APOLOGIZE to a bunch of foreigners for his own country's failings! He told the crowd of 200,000 that he addressed them "as a fellow citizen of the world" and then dropped this bomb: "I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions."                   Apparently lost on Obama and the crowd was the incredible irony that a Nazi flag would be flying over Berlin at this very moment if it weren't for the sacrifices made by the United States and our allies in WWII; hundreds of thousands of Americans died to liberate Europe and prevent the spread of tyranny around the world.                   The crowd, of course, was enthralled with the speech. But there's a very simple reason why Obama's been received like a rock star everywhere he goes in Europe: the European people have no desire to see America remain the world's number one power!                   Here's the bottom line: The United States can't afford a commander-in-chief who travels to other countries with his hat in his hand and begs for some understanding. We need a president who will stand up for America, not apologize on her behalf. And if Obama had no qualms about delivering this speech to the European public, what's to stop him from doing it in private with Ahmadinejad in Iran?                   Say goodbye to America, the superpower; say hello to America, the good global citizen.                   We hope you enjoyed receiving this newsletter from LauraIngraham.com, but if you wish to unsubscribe please click the link at the bottom of the page.Copyright (C) 2004-2008 LauraIngraham.com.
