Anti-War Groups Seek To Make War Costs a Campaign Issue
Anti-war groups announced Monday that they will kick off a campaign to tie the costs of the war in Iraq with domestic economic issues in a bid to build opposition to the president’s war policy before the November election.
In coming months, the groups plan to spend more than $20 million on grass-roots efforts and advertising targeting Republicans who have supported President Bush’s war policy and to make the cost of the war a central issue.

John McCain and the Iraq War
The foremost reason given by supporters of John McCain for why he should be president is that McCain is best qualified to lead the country during this "time of war." Indeed, fighting and winning the Iraq War is the raison d'etre of McCain's presidential campaign. It was the main theme of his campaign announcement speech in April 2007, and it was his most compelling talking point during the Republican presidential debates.
