McCain Buffs Hawkish Image




McCain, who enjoys a comfortable lead in Connecticut polls over Romney, said he
is running to defend America against "the transcendent challenge of Islamic
extremism."But he also focused on burnishing his credentials as a fiscal hawk,
decrying what he called $35 billion in pork-barrel spending signed into law over
the past two years by President Bush."I've got an old pen that Ronald Reagan
gave [me] years ago. I'm going to veto every pork-barrel bill that comes across
my desk," McCain said.



I agree with this article that McCain is focusing on his credentials extremely and is comfortable with his lead ahead of Romney. I think that he shouldn't get to confortable since Romney dropped out and doesn't really count anymore.
