WASHINGTON (AFP) — Barack Obama and John McCain feuded and laid claim to being the authentic candidate of change and reform on Sunday as their White House showdown roared into a frenetic eight-week final stretch.
The McCain campaign meanwhile denied that his vice presidential pick Sarah Palin was "scared" to answer questions, following her failure to give a major interview or hold a press conference since her shock selection.
Both presidential candidates are portraying themselves as drivers of change because most American votes are angry at the direction their country is headed and President George W. Bush is highly unpopular.
Republican Senator McCain, striking out from his tarnished party, warned that Democratic foe Obama did not have the "judgement" or record of reform or challenging his own party's dogma to be president.
"He never took on his party on a single major issue, I have taken them on a lot," McCain said on CBS "Face the Nation" as the candidates launched a flurry of interviews in the heated run-up to the November 4 election.
