Blogging at McCain’s – addendum to the Wright Museum

by Skip

In this post, I mentioned that the ‘Grok crew went the Senator McCain Town Meeting at the Wright Museum.  Well, I have more stuff to add and just ran out of time yesterday.  So, here some more stuff!

First, some audio clips!  The McCain campaign staff (thanks muchly to Patrick, Crystal, and Jill!) who made it possible to have a brief meeting with the Senator after his Town Meeting and the presser afterwards.  Here’s a couple of the questions that we had time for:

    Doug: Reaction to Truman’s decision to use the Atomic bomb?

    Doug: If you were not running, would you vote for Rudy Giuliani?

    Skip: Would you support a Web enabled database listing Federal earmarks and campaign
                    contributions?
 

Here’s the other clips from the "Presser" or Press Availability.  This is the time after an event where the certified Press can listen to the "person of interest’ or ask questions.  Both Doug and I were kind of surprised as no one really wanted to ask a lot of questions at all!  Heck, Doug and I could have kept him going for at least another hour (but were too polite to intrude!).

Dutch Television asked about what the Senator would do to patch up European relations here

A reporter by the name of Dan asked about the Iowa Straw Poll

A couple of more pictures as well!

    Could you please change the description of the “sherman” tank to T26 Pershing please. The tank photographed is a very historic tank. It was one of 20 Pershing tanks off loaded in Belgium and tested against German Armor. Prior to David’s death I had a one on one with him and got to go into the Pershing on a personal tour with him…I am a former tank commander retired Army
    Thanks.
