JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: ... no matter what happens, I will run nothing but a positive campaign, and one that you and my friends can be proud of, and I want you to know that.</s>HEMMER: John McCain talking, this morning, in Newberry, South Carolina; this after a fresh debate last night, 90 minutes seen live here on CNN. Hitting on familiar themes there: veterans, saying that is his first priority. Also talking about running a clean campaign. A very contentious debate regarding the campaign between he and -- between him and George W. Bush, the Texas governor, over the past seven days. Also taxes, the economy and the budget. A whole lot to swallow, this morning.
