Tomorrow, McCain will name his VP at the Nutter Center
While Obamaniacs competed for tickets and withstood long lines to see their hero at Denver's Invesco Field, John McCain's rumored announcement of his running mate here tomorrow is not exactly drawing the same interest.

McCain arrived here tonight to news reports that free tickets are still available to his rally tomorrow at a basketball arena at Wright State University. The Nutter Center has a capacity of about 12,000.

While McCain aides have mocked as grandiose Obama's plan to give his acceptance speech before more than 75,000 at the stadium where the Denver Broncos play, McCain's events Saturday and Sunday on his "Road to the Convention" tour are also at stadiums.

Minor league stadiums. Home to the Washington (Pa.) Wild Things of the Frontier League, and the River City Rascals of O'Fallon, Mo.

8. That's about 25 miles from here. We were going to protest, but
we are going to be out of town :(. That's kind of sad that he can't even fill up the Nutter though.

9. I'm thinking it'll be Rice
McCain would probably like to pick Lieberman but knows it would be political suicide. My feeling is he'll pick Rice so they can smear all opponants as racist and sexist.

12. Agreed but that's McCain for you
McCain is running the worst campaign I've seen in my life. Rice would appeal to the base and I honestly thing that's all he's thinking about.

That is assuming he hasn't just completely lost his mind in the pressure of campaigning which I'm starting to believe.

17. Too bad she's a republican
She's a very smart lady. She runs with a bad crowd, though.

11. The biggest crowd McCain has ever drawn is only 3,000 people
The whole GOP lineup is a huge YAWN.

Is anyone going to watch them for five days saying only "cut taxes" and "hate the Dems".

16. You know, there was a period of 5 1/2 years when McCain couldn't draw a crowd.
Thank you for the set-up
