Sen. McCain Raises Money for Mississippi GOP

Senator John McCain Raises Money for Mississippi GOP
Arizona Senator John McCain spoke to a crowd of hundreds
Monday night in Jackson. He was the featured guest at a
private fundraising event for the Mississippi Republican
party.

John McCain was last in Mississippi with Senator Trent Lott,
as he toured the hurricane ravaged Gulf Coast after Katrina,
then fought to get federal recovery money. "He made a huge
difference when the Senate was considering legislation to
help us. He made a huge difference," said Governor
Haley Barbour.

McCain returns again with Trent Lott, this time to
raise money for the Mississippi GOP. The two Senators
will also stand together this week, as the Senate
begins debating a scheduled pullout of troops in Iraq.

"All of us want our troops out of Iraq, but we don't want
them out before the situation warrants it," said McCain.
He says more work needs to be done before US troops can
withdrawal, but points to the capture and death of
Al-Zarqawi as a major step forward. "His successor,
I'm sure, will try to do bad things to America,"
McCain said. "But the fact that this guy is gone is very
important."

McCain hasn't decided for sure if he'll make run
for president in 2008. He says he'll turn to
Trent Lott and Governor Haley Barbour for advice.
"I thought I'd consult with them sometime early
next year to make a decision on that," McCain said.
