MANCHESTER – On his third visit to New Hampshire in four months, John McCain yesterday defended his energy and tax cut plans, his votes on home heating assistance and said the United States is clearly winning the war in Iraq.
McCain, placed by two recent state polls in a dead heat with Barack Obama in this battleground state, said he would consider the viability of uncapping the long-closed Seabrook Unit 2 to determine if it may fit with his plan to open 45 nuclear reactors across the country by 2030 to help the nation become energy independent.
And with Obama overseas meeting leaders in the Middle East, McCain said "everybody knows" the U.S. military surge in Iraq has succeeded, except Obama.
