McCain: Time for Gore to Go During a tour Monday through southern Arizona, John McCain said he has not been in the forefront of Bush's post-election campaign because he has not been asked to. (Paula Illingworth/AP Photo) The Associated Press T U C S O N, Ariz., Nov. 28 — Sen. John McCain says he stands ready to go to bat for George W. Bush’s assertion that he has won the presidency, but wants no role in a Bush administration. During a tour Monday through southern Arizona McCain said he has not been in the forefront of Bush’s post-election campaign because he has not been asked to. He added that, if asked, he would join his Republican counterparts on the talk shows to urge Vice President Al Gore to concede. abcnews.go.com

According to the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, the GSA has the authority to "ascertain the apparent winner" of an election before allocating office space and funding. The wording was designed to allow transitions to go forward even before the Electoral College meets to officially name the president-elect. But GSA administrator Dave Barram said he won't make a move to free up the 90,000 square feet of office space and the $5.3 million allocated by Congress for the president-elect until the fight is out of the courts and one candidate concedes. "If this were a Republican in the White House, not Bill Clinton, I can assure you that the transition office keys would be turned over today," said Paul Light of the non-partisan Brookings Institution. journalgazette.net
