MIAMI (AP) — John McCain charged that Barack Obama lacks “what it takes to protect America from terrorists” Wednesday as he sought to shift attention away from the economy in the final week of the race for the White House. Obama cast his rival as a threat to the middle class, and readied a 30-minute prime-time commercial at a cost of millions. Obama, who has led in the polls for weeks, toughened his rhetoric as Republicans and even some Democrats said the race to pick the next president was tightening somewhat nationally.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
