McCain, Obama face war veterans
The last Orlando assembly, Obama's crowd. This one may be more McCain's

Both John McCain and Barack Obama will return to Orlando next week to show some love to the nation's veterans.

Scheduling details haven't been released but the presumed presidential candidates will address the Veterans of Foreign Wars annual convention at the Orange County Convention Center.

McCain is expected to speak to the group -- numbering 10,000 or more -- on Monday, with Obama due in town the next day. A VFW official confirmed their appearances, adding that President Bush had been invited as well.

Bush, who will be on vacation in Texas, plans a day-trip to Orlando on Wednesday.

This is a return Orlando-engagement for both candidates. Early this month, both candidates traveled there to speak before the National Urban League.

1. Goody. Maybe McWhine can explain why he voted against the GI bill?

2. Yep. And then he can explain how he wants to stop the VA from providing
routine care to veterans. That's been going over REAL big among old vets, LOL!
