Phil Orenstein has forwarded a letter from Vince Tabone, head of the Queens Republican Party, about a McCain rally on 9/27:

McCain-Palin 2008
24-55 Francis Lewis Blvd.
Whitestone, NY 11357
718-690-3737

Dear Neighbor,

I just got back from Minnesota and I can tell you electricity was in the air and everyone left the Convention Center buoyed by our prospects. Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin energized the crowd as they made a compelling case why America needs their leadership and why team McCain-Palin has what it takes to reform Washington, protect the United States and get our economy moving again!

On Saturday the 27th of September at Queens County Republican Party Headquarters located 24-55 Francis Lewis Blvd, we will be holding a McCain-Palin Rally at 3:30 pm and you are invited!.

We will have very distinguished guest speakers and we will distribute lawn signs, bumper stickers, buttons and rally sign. By all means invite friends and neighbors that are as enthusiastic about the McCain-Palin ticket as we are! Republicans, Independents, Conservatives, Democrats all are welcome!

We will also receive campaign updates from McCain NY including Veterans for McCain Queens Coordinator Marvin R. Jeffcoat SFC, USA (RET), the Queens Women for McCain Steering Committee, the Queens Sportsman for McCain Steering Committee and Democrats for McCain.

If you are interested in getting involved in these or any other campaign groups or any other aspect of McCain-Palin’s Queens campaign please email me at Vince.Tabone@nymccain.com or call us as at County headquarters at 718-690-3737.

There probably has not been as important an election for quite a long time. Amercia faces unique chalenges and in many respects is at a cross roads. I hope you can join us at our September 27th Rally for McCain-Palin.

With Warm Regards,

Vince Tabone, Esq
McCain Coordinator
Queens County, NY -USA

New York Post Endorses John McCain

The New York Post has enthusiastically endorsed John McCain (h/t Dan Egers, Vince Tabone and Queens County for McCain). Thus, at least two of New York's leading newspapers, the New York Post and the New York Sun, are supporting him (I haven't seen a Sun endorsement yet but I'll eat my all-weather tires if they don't). The Post writes:

"THE Post today enthusiastically urges the election of Sen. John S. McCain as the 44th president of the United States.

"McCain's lifelong record of service to America, his battle-tested courage, unshakeable devotion to principle and clear grasp of the dangers and opportunities now facing the nation stand in dramatic contrast to the tissue-paper-thin résumé of his Democratic opponent..."

In an article today linked to the editorial, the Post notes that "Big Mac" has gotten a "big bounce":

"WASHINGTON - John McCain landed the post convention boost he and his pistol-packin' running mate were shooting for - an 11 point turnaround that gives him his biggest lead over Barack Obama since early May.

"The Republican candidate has the support of 48 percent of likely voters compared with 45 percent for Obama, according to a Gallup Daily Tracking Survey released yesterday.

"While McCain's lead is still within the poll's margin of error, the figures represent a significant jump for McCain, who lagged eight points behind Obama in the same tracking poll before the GOP convention."

We have yet to learn why most of the 20th century media is so passionately in support of Senator Obama. It is encouraging to learn that there is now some diversity in the print media. The Post has made the obviously right choice.
