McCain makes late stop in Indy

Republican presidential candidate John McCain speaks to supporters as Sen. Joe Lieberman and McCain's wife Cindy stand behind him at a rally on Monday at the Indianapolis International Airport.  McCain told the attendees that he needs their votes.

In a final plea to Indiana voters, McCain urged a few thousand supporters to show up to the polls tomorrow in a fiery and aggressive speech.

“The enthusiasm, the momentum that we see here, makes me know we are going to win this election tomorrow,” he said. “My friends, Indiana is now a battleground state. But it’s a battle that we’re going to win. We’re going to win the battle in Indiana.”

He asked voters to knock on doors, talk to neighbors and get out and vote tomorrow.
“I’m not afraid of the fight,” he said. “I’m ready for it and so will you.”

Hoosiers saw the Senator’s plane land and then he walked out to the small stage, where he told voters he would work to keep taxes low and the country safe. He said they couldn’t take the chance that Obama, who he said is inexperienced, would pass the test.

“I’ve been tested and I passed the test,” McCain said. “He wants to be redistributionist in chief. I’m running to be commander in chief.”

“America is worth fighting for. Nothing is inevitable here. We never give up. We never quit,” he said. “Indiana, I’m counting on you tomorrow.”
