McCain Predicts Victory The New Hampshire Union Leader reports, "A confident John McCain was predicting victory as he toured New Hampshire yesterday addressing hundreds of enthusiastic supporters at each stop along the way." In Manchester, McCain "told the crowd a New Hampshire win and he would 'march on to victory.'" The Hill says McCain "addressed many supports and throngs of press," emphasizing that he "wants 'to restore trust and confidence in government.'" The Washington Post has a front-page profile headlined "The Guy With The Bus Is On A Roll," saying there is "a hint of the spirit of 2000 in McCain's campaign."
