John McCain will finally visit Indiana, offer wave from airplane

by: Thomas

Am I the only one who laughed out loud a little bit when they read this?
Republican Sen. John McCain will make his first Indiana campaign stop in more than four months -- a rally at the Indianapolis airport Monday afternoon, the day before voters choose the nation's next president.
So the Republican presidential campaign is reacting to the criticism that John McCain views Indiana as nothing more than a flyover state by ...wait for it... having a hastily concocted rally at the airport.

It's poetry, I swear.

Barack Obama has made 40-odd trips to the state. He's sat in people's homes, he's talked to thousands upon thousands in rallies north and south, far and wide. Time and time again, he's taken the time to actually listen to Hoosiers.

John McCain has made a only a few short stops, and they usually involved a high-dollar, closed-door fundraiser. Now, he's bringing his message of desperation and fear to the Hoosier State at the last minute, and I can't think of anything more fitting than the "Keep the plane running" motif we'll see on Monday.

This is great. (4.00 / 1)
He is visiting 6 or 7 states, so I can't really blame him for not heading into the city.  Less traffic we'll have to deal with anyway. ;)

I do love that he has to go campaign in his home state, as polls there show him a severe risk for losing it.  According to a DKos poll early voters give Obama a large edge.

I blame him totally. (0.00 / 0)
If he was concerned about Indiana he'd visit. and /or have visited more often. Period.

Flyover Campaign (0.00 / 0)
McCain's airport rally matches his flyover campaign.  I'll be surprised if he pulls 2K in attendance.

in a hurry (4.00 / 1)
He is probably headed to Arizona to campaign and try to avoid losing his home state.

It's crystal clear that (4.00 / 2)
he takes Indiana for granted.  I hope Hoosiers see what I see.

I think they do -- (4.00 / 1)
And the fact that they have relied upon an increasingly unpopular VP candidate to carry the water gives me even more confidence.
