| | McCain admits loose talk can hurt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) |
 | | CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Riding aboard his campaign bus, the ''Straight Talk Express,'' John McCain recalls the pitfalls of his own loose talk. |
 | | Before a giggling pack of supporters and reporters, the Republican presidential candidate talks about the time he referred to the ''Leisure World'' senior citizens home as ''Seizure World.'' The quip drew protesters to his congressional campaign, forcing McCain to ''crawl on my hands and knees, begging forgiveness.'' |
 | | More than that, McCain is trying to prove at every stop in a four-day bus trip that he is blunt and fearless, willing to take chances while his GOP rivals - particularly front-runner George W. Bush - play it safe. |
