| A snaphot of John McCain AP - Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) of Arizona formally announced his candidacy for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination Wednesday: ___ INTERESTING NOTE: He traces his ancestry back to Highland Scots of the Clan McDonald. DETAIL YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW: His favorite movie is "Viva Zapata" and his favorite TV show is "24." CAREER NOTE: He frequently invokes Theodore Roosevelt, whom he admires for combining conservative politics with reform. CHALLENGE: No Arizonan has ever been elected president, even though the state has fielded several prominent candidates, including Barry Goldwater, Mo Udall, Bruce Babbitt and McCain in 2000. PERSONAL: As a child, he would hold his breath until he blacked out to get his way. TOUGH ISSUE: His outspoken support for a troop increase in Iraq and for continuing the war puts him at odds with the majority of voters. source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070425/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_snapshot [link] | ||||
