McCain campaign confident as they approach election

In a conference call today, McCain-Palin Campaign Manager Rick Davis said their campaign is "pretty jazzed up" as election day gets closer.

Davis stated that the narrowing polls between the candidates is evidence that "we fight back." He felt the world was "witnessing one of the greatest comebacks since John McCain won the primary."

Davis also noted that Gov. Palin (R-Alaska) has been generating a lot of excitement about their ticket. He added that the notion that she is hurting Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.) "can't be further from the truth." He used the example that yesterday, Sen. Biden (D-Del.) had 800 people at his speech, while Palin had 20,000 people at hers.

Davis felt the polling in the last 10 days were the "best 10 days of polling since the convention." He was also encouraged by the fact that Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) is campaigning in states like Iowa, which were previously thought to be easy victories for him.

McCain campaign continues to attack Obama campaign’s relation to ACORN

Rick Davis, adviser for the McCain/Palin campaign, continued speculation about the Barack Obama campaign's involvement in the "emerging scandal relating to ACORN." Davis accused Obama of not utilizing the time he was given during the final Presidntial debate to "spell out his historic involvement with ACORN". Davis would like to see the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) asked, "what exactly happened with that $830 thousand given to you by the Obama campaign?"

As for the McCain campaign's stance on ACORN and their voter registration, Davis said, "I believe the power the media has to bring scrutiny to these issues will help reform the process." In response to the fact that the Supreme Court just sided with Democratic election officials in Ohio over the voter registration dispute, Davis said the Supreme Court "did not make the decision based on the merits of the case."

Davis expressed his concern for lack of honesty in this election, and that there's a "cloud of suspicion hanging over this election." Davis further stated that "when John McCain gets elected President, we want to know that these are the most honest elections that Americans will have confidence in."
