McCain VP announcement tour taking shape

The McCain campaign is beginning to widely promote “Road To Convention Rallies” in Dayton, OH and Washington, PA set for next Friday and Saturday–a.k.a. the VP announcement tour.
The JohnMcCain.com homepage now features a lead graphic (above) with links directing supporters to the event details and ticketing information. Thus far, the listing for each event only promises appearances by the candidate and his wife but it is widely expected that Sen. McCain will be joined by his VP nominee starting with the Friday morning rally at the Nutter Center in Dayton.
Additionally, country musician John Rich, of Big and Rich, is listed as one of the special guests for the Saturday afternoon event at Consol Energy Park just outside Pittsburgh. Rich recently wrote and dedicated the song, “Raisin’ McCain,” to the presumptive GOP nominee.
The Republican National Convention is set to begin on Monday September 1 in St. Paul, MN though the eventual VP is set to speak that Wednesday with McCain headlining the convention the following night.

still crossing my fingers for the unlikely big huck
If the states of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan vote for the election of John McCain then I will be happy to watch as more of their industrial base is shipped out of this country, you will get what you richly deserve for electing the village idiot from Crawford, Texas, and his re-placemant.
I hope it’s Gov Sarah Palin for VP. Guys - get behind a McCain/Palin 2008 ticket!!
It’s going to be hard to find a Republican he hasn’t stabbed in the back at one time or another.
Please, Romney, no one else can help him to win.
My question to Fox News why haven’t you said a thing about McCain wanting to bring back the draft. People of America need to know about his stupid gaffe. You are so bias to what you want to cover. This is of great interest to us we want to know more about McCain and the draft.
It looks like Romney may win by default, as the last man standing. Sort of like what happened to Edwards in 2004, and that didn’t work out for Kerry…
John Kasich would be the best VP for John McCann to win the election from the Democrates.
PUMA
This guy is garbage. Thinking of a liberal jew democrat or pro choice Ridge for vp. What a joke. Hey Songbird McCain, what about Carol McCain? I want a family man, who is true to his country and his religion. Not a garbage talker like you. I’m writing in Mike Huckabee for president. A man with true conviction.
Hillary, or McCann.
We are 18 million votes.
PUMA.
i just hope Mcsane picks someone who dont take as many naps as he do
Just what we the people need, a president that requires ‘OJT”…
The democrats need to ‘hire’ / ‘appoint’ a VP candidate that could
in the event of B.O. being elected, provide him with “on the job training”
Because as h.cLINTON and millions of others have stated: B.O. is not qualified to be president.
McCain and Keating

HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THAT OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH A CANDIDATE WHO HAS A BAD TEMPER, WHO IS A WAR MONGER, WHOSE FOREIGN POLICY IS STOLEN FROM WIKIPEDIA, WHO WILL RE-INSTATE THE DRAFT, WHO WEARS $520 LOAFERS, WHO DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES HE OWNS (7), THINKS YOU’RE NOT RICH IF YOU MAKE LESS THAN $5 MILLION, WAS INVOLVED IN THE KEATING 5 AND JACK ABRAMOFF SCANDALS, A CANDIDATE WHO HAS OVER 50 LOBBYISTS ON HIS STAFF, WHO FLIP FLOPPED HIS POSITION ABOUT OFFSHORE DRILLING CONVENIENTLY AFTER RECEIVING MILLIONS FROM THE OIL INDUSTRY, A MAN CALLED SONGBIRD FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO TALK TO THE ENEMY (GOOGLE IT!), A CANDIDATE WHO WAS ENDORSED BY THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER, WHO SHARES A 95% VOTING RECORD WITH THAT SAME PRESIDENT (HOW IS THAT MAVERICK?!?!), WHO CHEATED ON HIS SICK WIFE, A CANDIDATE WHO ADMITTED HE DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ECONOMICS, WHO IS OLDER THAN ZIP CODES, PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SANDWICHES, AUTOMATIC CAR TRANSMISSIONS, FM RADIO AND ALF!, A CANDIDATE WHO STEALS THE ‘CROSS IN THE SAND’ ANECDOTE FROM A FAMOUS AUTHOR, A CANDIDATE WHO CONSISTENTLY LIES AND DISTORTS HIS OPPONENTS’ RECORD AND VIEWS, A CANDIDATE WHO WON’T CUT TAXES FOR THOSE MAKING LESS THAN $250K AS MUCH AS OBAMA WILL.
::::::::::::::::::::::INDEPENDENT VOTING OBAMA;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
He is enough old to get nicely retierd,and do not playno more games.
“Get off my grass, pal,” Biden said.
JOHN McCain will pick a super running mate. He will pick upthe lead over the dis-honest Batrack, the left of left B. Hosien Obama.
If McCain really wants to win he needs to pick Bobby G. - Governor of LA
Talk about a man with a pair - this guy tells it like it is! He’s not marching with the rest of the band in DC. Gotta love Bobby - I could see him in the BIG chair if needed
Colin Powell VP for mccain
Bill Clinton shipped out the industrail jobs of the Miwest you flaming idiot moron.
