CONCORD, New Hampshire (AP) -- With his candidacy only a day old, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack took aim at the man widely viewed as a Republican front-runner in the presidential race, Sen. John McCain.
Vilsack, a Democrat, criticized McCain for calling for more troops in Iraq. His comments came during a radio interview and appearance at the New Hampshire Technical Institute on Friday.
"I fundamentally disagree with Senator McCain on this. I think he is wrong. We cannot afford to make a big mistake bigger," he said to a burst of applause at the college. "We've stretched our military too thin and I'm not quite sure where Senator McCain thinks we can get these troops."
