Graham: 'I'm saying he doesn't get it.'


09/04/08 11:15 PM EDT

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is known as McCain’s closest confidant in the Senate, and he was rewarded with one of the final prime-time speaking positions before McCain’s own address.

His message was all about the troop surge in Iraq, which he had advocated along with McCain before President Bush decided to try it. And his words about Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s rejection of the surge were among the toughest of the whole convention.

“I’m not saying Barack Obama doesn’t care,” Graham said, turning the tables on one of the candidate’s own often-repeated phrases. “I’m saying he doesn’t get it.”

How do I get to the game page of the examiner. I love the crosswords, but I have been having trouble finding the page. Is it possible to have the daily crossword puzzle Emailed?

Last year I thoroughly enjoyed your crossword puzzles. I found them challenging and mentally stimulating.I could solve everyone of them within a reasonable amount of time. BUT something changed roughly a half a year or so (?) ago - I find your puzzles difficult to solve and no longer enjoyable. They lost something a certain cleverness (?). Did you change the source of where these puzzles come from or something ? Disappointed reader Anton Steuer
