He gave up?
Seriously. I mean, he’s traveling to several states and all the others make sense, but Tennessee just seems totally random. Why not Ohio, Missouri or Virginia?
Must be because he’s a maverick.
Blountville Tennessee is just across the Tennessee/Virginia border. He may be targeting voters in southwest (Appalachian; aka “real”) Virginia.
Al Gore’s failure to win Tennessee proved his undoing in 2000. Perhaps McCain thinks the same is true for him?
Maybe a man just wants some good Barbeque while the RNC is still willing to foot the bill.
Mary:
And McCain thinks he’ll get more than 50 to 100 people there? What’s he going to do? Bus school children in again?
Must’ve moved onto the “double maverick” strategy, where he goes completely berserk and freaks everyone out.
McCain is in upper east TN today because it is close to the Virginia border. I live about 20 minutes from where he spoke. He’ll get coverage in three states, VA, TN, and NC, for being there today. He should have been coming here more often because Obama was here the day after he clinched and Biden has been here many many times.
This is truly good news for Rudy.
McCain’s probably at a cross burning
Beats the hell out of me. I sure as shit didn’t send for him.
He wanted to stock up on some of that good sippin’ whisky. He’s going to need it to get through tomorrow night.
What the fuck?
Maybe he has some really dire internal polls? Or perhaps a downticket race?
No matter what it is, I can’t be good news.
Outreach to rural voters who haven’t heard about Obama’s being a foreign-born Muslim. Although apparently that item has made it even to the Amish, which just goes to show that it must have spread by media other than e-mail, DVD and Sean Hannity specials.
He’s probably putting his name in for the head coaching job at UT. He’ll need a job following the election after all.
“McCain’s probably at a cross burning”.
Even as “humor”, that is uncalled for (and I say that as someone who going to be voting for Obama tomorrow).
Back when I was in college, we wasted a lot of time in the dorm playing Risk. There was this one kid who, when faced with certain defeat, would pile all his armies on Madagasdar just out of desperation to hang in there for one more turn.
This, apparently, was Presidentail politics, McCain style.
As Madagascar goes, so goes…well, not so much.
