McCain Plans VP Birthday Bash
Our earlier speculation on an errant blog posting appears to be on the right track.
According to Politico, Sen. John McCain “plans to celebrate his 72nd birthday on Aug. 29 by naming his running mate at a huge rally in the battleground state of Ohio.”
The campaign “has begun building a crowd of 10,000 for Dayton, Ohio, according to an organizer. McCain is scheduled to appear with his running mate at a large-scale event in Pennsylvania shortly thereafter.”
McCain Zeroes In On Ohio Running Mate?
Marc Ambinder noticed that an Ohio Republican official wrote on his blog yesterday that Sen. John McCain would be in Dayton, Ohio the day after the Democratic convention — and was looking for a “big” venue.
Wrote Alex Triantafilou: “Sen. McCain is expected to host a rally on August 29 in Dayton and is looking for a BIG venue and for a BIG crowd. He’ll get it. This is not yet public. I guess I just made it so.”
Today, that sentence has disappeared from the site.
