John McCain And Sarah Palin Returning To Iowa This Weekend For 3 Road To Victory Rallies
John McCain And Sarah Palin Returning To Iowa This Weekend For 3 Road To Victory Rallies
DES MOINES, IA -- The McCain-Palin presidential campaign announced today that Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin will return to Iowa this weekend for three "Road to Victory" rallies. They will discuss their plans to strengthen the economy, protect America's workers and entrepreneurs, and keep our nation secure by putting country first. Tickets are already being distributed for the Governor Palin rallies and ticket distribution for Senator McCain's rally will begin today at 3 p.m. CDT.
"The race for the White House in Iowa continues to heat up as internal polling tightens. We've seen both campaigns open more offices, bring in more staff, continue their advertising and plan visits to the state," said campaign manager Rick Davis. "Senator McCain and Governor Palin are within striking distance in Iowa. Given our historically strong 'Get Out the Vote' program and how our message of conservative values is resonating better with Iowans -- while we're still the underdog -- we feel very good about our investment in the Hawkeye State."
On Saturday, October 25th, Governor Palin will hold a rally in Sioux City at 10:00 a.m. CDT, and a rally in Des Moines at 1:30 p.m. CDT.
On Sunday, October 26th, Senator McCain and Cindy McCain will hold a Road to Victory rally in Cedar Falls at the University of Northern Iowa.
"Senator McCain and Governor Palin are excited to be traveling back to Iowa this weekend so that Iowans can hear straight talk, straight from them, about how they will work across the aisle, strengthen our economy, keep taxes low and lead in Washington," said Wendy Riemann, Iowa McCain Spokeswoman.
Tickets are required for each rally and are free. A list of ticket distribution centers for each rally is listed below, along with the office hours for each distribution site.

What They're Saying About John McCain At The Hofstra Presidential Debate: Vol. 3
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN AT THE HOFSTRA DEBATE: VOL. 3
ABC News' George Stephanopoulos: "Best Of The Three Debates." ROBIN ROBERTS: "Very important debate for him last night. And it was his best debate?" GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: "Clearly. Best of the three debates. especially at the beginning when he did introduce Joe the Plumber and put Barack Obama on the defensive on issues like taxes, especially taxes and the economy. Also laid out his plan for buying up those bad home loans. I think his first half hour was very, very strong." (ABC's "Good Morning America," 10/16/08)
Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody: "John McCain Put A Dent In The Obama Persona." "Wednesday night John McCain put a dent in the Obama persona. There's no doubt that out of all the debates this fall, John McCain had his best one at Hofstra University. He was able to pokes some holes in Obama's armor. He nicked him with Ayers, ACORN, public financing, negative advertising, abortion and yes, Joe the Plumber." (David Brody, "McCain Dings Obama At Hofstra Debate," Christian Broadcasting Network's "Brody File" Blog, 10/16/08)
· Brody: "The 'Joe The Plumber' Moments Were Probably Some Of McCain's Best Moments." "The 'Joe the Plumber' moments were probably some of McCain's best moments. Not only was McCain able to use the Joe the Plumber story as an example of class warfare, he also used Joe as a way to make the economy a personal story." (David Brody, "McCain Dings Obama At Hofstra Debate," Christian Broadcasting Network's "Brody File" Blog, 10/16/08)
· Brody: "Clearly, the line of the night was when McCain's distanced himself from the President by saying: I'm sure a lot of McCain supporters thought 'It's about time'. Obama has been hammering McCain on his ties to Bush forever but Wednesday night McCain not only delivered the big line but also listed numerous examples of how he is different than President Bush." (David Brody, "McCain Dings Obama At Hofstra Debate," Christian Broadcasting Network's "Brody File" Blog, 10/16/08)
The New York Times: "John McCain Was In A Groove Early." "Senator John McCain was in a groove early in the presidential debate on Wednesday night, looking Senator Barack Obama in the eye and chiding him over taxes, over his backbone in standing up to Democrats and over the Obama campaign's portrayal of Mr. McCain as the second coming of George W. Bush." (Patrick Healy, "Pressing All The Buttons, McCain Attacks, But Obama Stays Steady," The New York Times, 10/16/08)
The Arizona Republic's Dan Nowicki: "For McCain, It Clearly Was His Best Debate Performance And For At Least The First Part Of The Proceedings He Effortlessly Kept Obama Off-Balance." (Dan Nowicki, "Both Candidates Stand Tall In The Final 2008 Presidential Debate," The Arizona Republic, 10/16/08)
The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes: "The Winner Was John McCain." "The winner, and in my view quite decisively, was John McCain. From the very first question, McCain seemed certain of himself and his answers." (Stephen Hayes, "McCain Wins Round Three," The Weekly Standard, 10/16/08)
National Review's Byron York: "Who Won? There Seems Little Doubt That McCain Scored Many More Points Than Obama." (Byron York, Op-Ed, "'I Am Not President Bush.'" National Review Online, 10/16/08)
New York Post: "On Issue After Issue, McCain Made His Case, Deftly Countering Obama's Jabs." "On issue after issue, McCain made his case, deftly countering Obama's jabs. Why, he asked, does Obama 'always say we have to spend more?' Added McCain: 'Throwing money at every problem is not the answer.'" (Editorial, "Lessons From The Plumber," New York Post, 10/16/08)
New York Post's Charles Hurt: "John McCain Delivered The Best Debate Performance Of His Campaign Last Night." "With an assist from Joe the Plumber, John McCain delivered the best debate performance of his campaign last night. And it was probably the best night of the entire general election so far for him, rivaled only by the electric evening on which Sarah Palin gave her acceptance speech during the GOP convention last month." (Charles Hurt, "Old Warrior Finally Has His Great Debate," New York Post, 10/16/08)
· Hurt: John McCain "Made The Strongest And Most Convincing Argument Yet That He Is Prepared To Keep The Federal Government From Making The Current Economic Crisis Worse." "McCain last night made the strongest and most convincing argument yet that he is prepared to keep the federal government from making the current economic crisis even worse." (Charles Hurt, "Old Warrior Finally Has His Great Debate," New York Post, 10/16/08)
USA Today: John McCain "Kept Obama on The Defensive." "So the Republican's tone was crisper, sharper and more cutting than it had been in the first two debates. He kept Obama on the defensive for much of the 90-minute forum, attacking him for everything from his association with '60s radical Bill Ayers to his decision not to take public financing for his campaign." (Editorial, "Analysis: McCain More Cutting; Obama Low-Key," USA Today, 10/16/08)
Denver Post's Joanne Ostrow: "It Wasn't Obama's Night." "On Wednesday, Joe, you saw Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain making their cases, seated uncomfortably close, without the distraction of a town hall. It wasn't Obama's night." (Joanne Ostrow, Op-Ed, "McCain Seemed Energized; Obama Kept Cool," Denver Post, 10/16/08)
The Boston Globe's Peter Canellos: "John McCain Last Night Put Barack Obama Through A Red-Hot Grilling, Barely Hiding His Disdain For The Illinois Senator And His Outrage Over Obama's Policies." (Peter S. Canellos, "Intensity May Help The Republican," The Boston Globe, 10/16/08)
· Canellos: "McCain Also Scored Substantively By Focusing On 'Joe The Plumber,' A Real Person Who Wants To Buy His Business And Worries That Obama's Tax Policies Would Hurt Him." (Peter S. Canellos, "Intensity May Help The Republican," The Boston Globe, 10/16/08)

Halperin: "During the first half of the debate, showed off the best of himself -- dedicated, sincere, patriotic, cheery, earnest, commanding--all without seeming old or anxious. Even scored some points in the 'change' category, against the candidate who has owned the theme. Clear, upbeat, and totally on message." (Mark Halperin, "Mark Halperin's Grades For The Final Presidential Debate," TIME's "The Page" Blog, thepage.time.com, 10/15/08)
Halperin: "[I]f a majority of persuadable voters watched the debate, they saw why McCain's advisers have faith in him and still believe he can win this race." (Mark Halperin, "Mark Halperin's Grades For The Final Presidential Debate," TIME's "The Page" Blog, thepage.time.com, 10/15/08)

The Associated Press' Liz Sidoti: "John McCain Kept Barack Obama On The Defensive ... By That Measure, McCain Won The Last Debate Of The 2008 Campaign." "This time, John McCain kept Barack Obama on the defensive. The feisty Republican tried hard to find a lifeline Wednesday night, challenging his Democratic rival at every turn over his truthfulness, associations and record.

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell: "I thought John McCain had a very strong night. I thought it was his best debate, clearly." (MSNBC's "Post Debate Analysis," 10/15/08)
Former Clinton White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers: "I thought it was a stronger night for McCain, though, than the last debate, and he got in some licks, like the one that Dan was talking about where he said you know, if you wanted to run against George Bush you should have run four years ago. I think he brought up Joe The Plumber and used that quite effectively for most of the times he brought it up, which was a lot of times. So a stronger performance from McCain." (CBS's "Presidential Debate," 10/15/08)
CNN's Candy Crowley: "I would agree this was not Obama's best debate." (CNN, 10/15/08)
CNN's Gloria Borger: "John McCain finally got to say tonight I am not George W. Bush. ... That was his best line. That's the line he has been waiting to say." (CNN, 10/15/08)
CNN's David Gergen: "I thought that McCain had the best start than he's had in any debate. The first 30 minutes I thought he excelled, I thought he played very well to his base. Obama started to look, I thought, flat." (CNN, 10/15/08)
"McCain Has Done Much Of What He Needed To Do Tonight" "he Was Aggressive. He Was Strong. He Was On Offense."
ABC News' Rick Klein: "My sense is that McCain has done much of what he needed to do tonight..." (Rick Klein, "Live Debate Blog," ABC News' "Live Debate" Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 10/15/08)
