MCCAIN ACCEPTS REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT: Vows to end 'constant partisan rancor.'
"We will attack the problem on every front. We will produce more energy at home," he said in a speech to the Republican National Convention.
McCain accepted his party's presidential nomination in a packed convention hall, insisting he can pull off the kind of change that Democrat Barack Obama talks about in a year Americans are hungry for new leadership.
In a rousing conclusion to his 48-minute address, McCain was nearly drowned out by cheers from the crowd when he vowed to fight for Americans if they elect him over Obama on November 4.
"Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We're Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history," he said.
Confetti and balloons rained down from the ceiling in celebration as McCain was joined on stage by his wife Cindy and his vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who wowed Republicans by tossing zingers at Obama on Wednesday.
