YORK, Pa. -- "History is often made in remote, obscure places," John McCain told Pennsylvanians here today, saying he had spoken by phone to Georgia's President Mikhail Saakashvili this morning.

"I told him that I know I speak for every American when I said to him, today, we are all Georgians," said McCain, mentioning his 2006 visit to Georgia and pointing out that Georgia's troops had served alongside U.S. forces in Iraq.
