Why no mention of this from the cable news talking heads?

7. Yes, but the problem is that Virginians have to drive over an hour
Most will have to drive between one and two hours to get here. Plus, it's not the best way to endear yourself with Virginians by campaigning in Tennessee. Or Tennesseans for that matter.

11. But local tv and newspapers will cover it
It's a desperation move at best.

12. That part is true - but they aren't letting Tennesseans into the event
So the best they can hope for is a few staffers and maybe a couple of mechanics to stand around him and act as an audience.

I'm sure they have revised this plan by now, but as of 8:00 this morning - the only way you can get into the event is to be from Virginia and obtain a ticket IN VIRGINIA.

10. When did McGrumpy state referring to himself in the 3rd person as "the Mac"
Seems a little Captain Queegish or at the least, Nixonian or Bob Dolish.
