The crowd is going NUTS - Senator Kyl just compared the noise level to the 1976 Phoenix Suns / Boston Celtics NBA final (which was played in the same building)
Sen. Kyl introducing John McCain now
McCain is speaking now. "This is even better than Florida - they got a pretty good Governor though."
"On September 14, President Bush stood in a pile of rubble and said 'the world will hear from us, and they DID and they DID and they DID" (crowd goes wild)
"Freed Afghanistan from despotic rule - women no longer hung from goalposts of soccer fields - 8 million Afghans registered to vote thanks to this president"
McCain now:
Americans need to know:
- Pres and I travelled all over, AZ is a good crowd (better deal)
- Sept 11th events took place that changed the world: talking about Bush saying the world would hear from us " AND THEY DID", AND THEY DID", AND THEY DID"
McCain: "Then we went to Iraq and Iraq is safer, America is Safer, the world is safer." "I saw mass graves - they used to tie two people and shoot them with one bullet - Iraq is free".
"Bush has not wavered. We will not waver. We will win this war on terror." Crowd: "Thank you! Thank you!"
Tanks for the heads up! This is GREAT!
He started his speech with "So there we were in Florida yesterday, and John said just wait til you get to Phoenix" LOL!
BUSH: Proud to be running with Dick Cheney... not the prettiest face in the race... picked him for his judgement... he can do his job...
Proud to be travelling with great American John McCain. Thanks to Cindy... class act... good lady... thanks to John Kyl... two fine Senators.
Bush: Thanks to congressional delegation... grass roots activists (Freepers?) Big scream... thanks to Luis Gonzales (bigger scream)... Tom Lehman... don't have time for putting practice. I'm working.
I'm asking for help to register voters.
Bump. Wish I could watch this.
"Tell them America will be better off with Bush / Cheney in the whitehouse".
