Republican McCain tacks away from Bush
Will this work?
Yahoo– John McCain on Tuesday struck away from the political legacy of President George W. Bush, as he sought to plot an obstacle-strewn course back to the White House for Republicans.
The party’s presidential pick also mused on the lessons of his rebellious youth, as he sought to frame his life story as a history of self sacrifice and military service, the culmination of which would be the presidency.
“The point is, I’m not running on the Bush presidency, I’m running on my own service to the country, my own record in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate and my vision for the future,” McCain told ABC television.
“Now we’ll have lots of time to portray that, and I’m doing that now.”
