Spread John McCain's official talking points around the Web -- and you could win prizes! That, in essence, is the McCain campaign's pitch to supporters to join its new online effort.
At www.johnmccain.com, visitors are invited to "Spread the Word" by sending supplied comments -- such as "John McCain has a comprehensive economic plan" -- to websites. Just cut and paste. People receive points each time they place a favorable comment on one of the listed websites (subject to verification). The points can be traded for prizes, such as preferred seating at campaign events and even a ride with McCain on his Straight Talk Express bus, spokesman Brian Rogers said.
JINDAL MAY BE RNC KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, the nation's first elected Indian-American governor, may deliver the keynote at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. Louisiana Republican Party Chairman Roger Villere cautioned that he doesn't know the final decision, but he called it "a good possibility." The keynote is generally viewed as the second highest profile speech behind the nominee's acceptance address.
