Sen. John McCain spent the weekend at home in Arizona ahead of another full week of campaigning that begins in North Carolina today, May 5. He wrapped up the weekend by attending an Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball game:
Arizona Sen. John McCain completed a weekend break from campaigning by attending Sunday's baseball game between the New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee watched from the owners' seats near the Diamondbacks' dugout, sitting between team owners Jeff Moorad and Ken Kendrick. McCain's wife, Cindy, also attended.
McCain waved when he was shown on the giant Chase Field video screen. He was greeted with subdued cheers, and a smattering of boos, from the crowd.
McCain sat for a while in the announcers' booth and spoke on the radio about baseball and campaigning.
"We've been traveling, giving speeches, raising money, doing the campaign — it's a great time," he told KTAR. "We've got a tough campaign, but you've got to love it and like it, otherwise it's too hard."
McCain spent Friday and Saturday at his home in Sedona. He heads to North Carolina on Monday.

John McCain returned to his home state of Arizona today on his "Service To America Tour." His purpose today was to emphasize that he wants to be President of all the people - even people with whom he may have disagreements on some issues. McCain was strongly influenced by two
political giants from Arizona's past - Republican Barry Goldwater and Democrat Morris Udall. McCain called for Americans to disagree and debate in the coming campaign vigorously, but as compatriots against a common enemy, not as enemies with one another. He vowed to wage such a campaign - to do it in a way that would make both Goldwater and Udall proud.
Sen. John McCain called Saturday for a presidential campaign that is more like a respectful argument among friends than a bitter clash of enemies, and said he is better able than either of his Democratic rivals to govern across party lines.
"We have nothing to fear from each other," the Arizona senator said as he wrapped up a weeklong trip designed to broaden his appeal beyond the voters who cast ballots in last winter's Republican primaries.
"We are arguing over the means to better secure our freedom, promote the general welfare and defend our ideals." read more »

Sen. John McCain returns home to Arizona today to conclude his "Service To America Tour" by making a speech in Prescott, Arizona. The scene of the speech will recreate the setting where McCain's mentor, former Sen. Barry Goldwater, announced his bid for President in 1964:
Senator John McCain is expected to reflect on the legacy and lessons of Barry Goldwater during a speech in Prescott Saturday.
Sen. McCain picked the Yavapai County Courthouse steps for the speech about his values and experience. It's the same place where former Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater announced his campaign for president in 1964. McCain's staff even tried to recreate the backdrop used in the Goldwater campaign event.
The Prescott rally is part of McCain's Service to America tour. The presumptive Republican nominee spent the week-long trip explaining how his personal history and values would impact his decisions as president.
Saturday's event begins at 10 a.m. in Prescott's downtown courthouse square. No tickets are required. The senator is expected to address the crowd for about 45 minutes. Organizers say Sen. John Kyl will introduce McCain.
