WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Democrats say Republican Sen. John McCain accepted his party's U.S. presidential nomination without saying what he'd do to solve America's problems.
"I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle-class families," Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., said in a statement after McCain's speech Thursday night.
Clinton, who lost the Democratic nomination to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and threw her support to him, said her general election campaign cry now is "No way, no how, no McCain-Palin."
Electing McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, would mean four more years of the Republican politics that have dragged down American, said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
The Democrats have made trying to link U.S. President George Bush and McCain the central part of their argument against the Republican candidate. Democratic Party fundraising messages issued after McCain's speech focused on that.
McCain "talked about bipartisanship but didn't mention that he's been a Bush partisan 90 percent of the time," Burton told CNN.
