McCain Campaign Declines to Meet with Billy Graham

Sunday, June 8, 2008 10:10 PM

By: Doug Wead Article Font Size



In another disturbing sign that Sen. John McCain has little interest in reaching out to his conservative base, including evangelical Christian voters, his campaign has declined an offer to meet with the Rev. Billy Graham.


For almost six decades, Graham has been America’s most influential preacher and evangelist, a man sought out by every president since Harry Truman.


Today, the 89-year-old Graham is in declining health and stays near his home in Montreat, N.C. His last public appearance, in May 2007, marked the dedication of his library. Three former American presidents -- Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton -- were on hand to honor Graham.
