SPRINGFIELD, Pa. -- John McCain arrived in the heart of an old-guard Republican-machine county with an ironic tribute to the anthems of past Democratic nominees.

In rapid succession: Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop," the 1992 Clinton campaign tune with the "thinking about tomorrow" refrain, and Neil Diamond's "America," the pro-immigration theme ("they're coming to America") favored by Mike Dukakis.

The standing-room-only crowd is still waiting for a "Happy Days Are Here Again" sing-along.
