McCain might skip his own election-night party

I have never heard of anything like this before. Do you think the reality of the situation is sinking in??? :shrug:

Edit.. or could they be trying to end run us with this to keep people from getting out and voting... Makes me want to go hmmmmmmmm


NEW YORK – Republican John McCain is not going to make his election night remarks in the traditional style — at a podium standing in front of a sea of campaign workers jammed into a hotel ballroom. Oh, the throng of supporters will hold the usual election night party at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix on the evening of Nov. 4.

But the Republican presidential nominee plans to address another group of supporters and a small group of reporters on the hotel lawn; his remarks will be simultaneously piped electronically to the party inside and other reporters in a media filing center, aides said.

Aides said Thursday that the arrangement was the result of space limitations and that McCain might drop by the election watch party at some other point.

Only a small press "pool" — mostly those who have traveled regularly with the candidate on his campaign plane, plus a few local Arizona reporters and other guests — will be physically present when McCain speaks.

John McCain's not that big of a man. You'd think they'd be able to squeeze him in somewhere.
