by Pete Winn, Michigan Crowd Boos McCain on Illegal Immigration: Sen. John McCain of Arizona, winner of last Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, drew cheers and jeers from an audience of over 500 conservative activists in Michigan over the weekend. . . . McCain was alternately cheered and jeered by the vocal, pro-growth, "limit-the-government" activist crowd. He was cheered for his military service and for his pledges to maintain a strong defense, to cut taxes and to veto earmarks, but he was booed for his stances on immigration and the environment. . . .

by Julie Mack, McCain rally draws hundreds: Donna Webb is planning to vote in Tuesday's Republican presidential primary but hasn't committed to a candidate yet. She is hoping this morning's campaign rally for John McCain will make up her mind. "I'm learning toward McCain, but I want to hear what he has to say," the Richland resident said. Webb was among several hundred people waiting for the 10 a.m. rally to begin in the Kalamazoo Christian High School gym. Attendees ranged from diehard McCain supporters to the merely curious.
