Reno Gazette-Journal: McCain Campaigns in Reno

U.S. Sen. John McCain used his first general election campaign stop in Nevada to extend his weeklong attack against U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, engaging the Democrat in a tit-for-tat over the Iraq war before answering voter questions on energy, education and immigration. Before a crowd of nearly 600 supporters in a gymnasium at the Boys and Girls Club of the Truckee Meadows, McCain accused Obama of exhibiting a “profound misunderstanding” of the situation in Iraq, before promising to bring a successful close to the war. McCain also refused to back away from his support of the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository,
despite saying in a speech Tuesday that an international repository might make the Nevada project
unnecessary.
