Sen. John McCain touted his experience and Western roots in his bid for the White House during a brief campaign stop Saturday in this rural, Republican-friendly Nevada enclave. 'I am prepared to lead, I need no on-the-job training,' the Arizona Republican told about 300 people gathered. McCain criticized both parties on the war in Iraq. The war was mismanaged in its early stages, he said, but Democrats' attempts to enforce a timetable for withdrawal are misguided and won't prevail. President Bush has said he will veto a war funding bill that contains the timetable. Democrats in Congress have stood by the plan. McCain said he believes Democrats will back down rather face blame for any possible consequences of holding up funding by insisting on a withdrawal timetable. He has been trailing in polls and fundraising to Republican Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York. The senator has struggled to maintain his reputation for political independence while staunchly defending the administration's increasing unpopular war policies.
