John McCain actually said...

"Staggering unemployment, a devastated housing market, that shows little signs of improvement, and a river of red ink that threatens your prosperity and the prosperity of future generations of American..."

"I promise you Republicans and independents who voted for me and those Arizonians who did not, I will do my best to prove worthy of the honor."

"I have seen, much to my regret, a number of very wonderful men stay too long and we remember them how they are at the end rather than how they were at their most effective period and I don't want that..."

"I promise you, I will act always and only in what I believe to be the best interests of the state of Arizona and the country I love."
