Parker: McCain should tell his story in acceptance speech
By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com ReporterST. PAUL, Minn. - A guest of the Maryland delegation wishes former Gov. Bob Ehrlich (R-Baltimore) would have attended the Republican National Convention.
"I think he's just missing a lot of excitement," said Jeff Parker, who's wife -- Patt Parker -- is an at-large delegate and president of the Maryland Federation of Republican Women .
"He's been one of us. So, on a personal level I miss having him here," he said
Parker had a few thoughts on what it will take for John McCain to deliver an effective speech.
"He needs to continue to tell his story," said Parker. "He hasn't let small defeats get in the way of accomplishing reform and the things that need to be done."
Parker said that McCain wants government to work and that no American can disagree with that. "He's got to run the whole executive branch of government," Parker added.

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
