| Description | FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Republican John McCain said he won't try to "separate" himself from a weakened President Bush or his unpopular handling of the war in Iraq to try to win the general election against Barack Obama, who has made opposition to the war a focus of the Democratic campaign.
During an interview Thursday with USA Today, McCain also made it clear that he would emphasize his steadiness and experience - particularly on national-security issues - to counter the vibrancy and oratory skills that have made Obama a sensation on the campaign trail.
"I believe that people are interested very much in substance," McCain said. "If it was simply style, William Jennings Bryan would have been president." (Bryan, a noted orator, lost three presidential elections as the Democratic nominee in 1896, 1900 and 1908.)
