Yesterday the fireball of energy that is John McCain came through the state of Indiana.
Big Mac stopped in Indianapolis but didn’t campaign with the Republican in a special election that is just two weeks away. Hmmm. Either selfish on McCain’s part or the Repub must really suck. I choose both myself.
The Straight talker put a lid on LobbyGate at his presser, and is moving on as everyone has heard. He also gave some praise to my opponent in Indiana’s 6th Congressional District, Mike Pence, who has long been rumored for the VP spot, and that came up again.
The real news out of the stop in Indy though was that McCain showed his cards when it comes to healthcare. His plan below.
John McCain will solve the healthcare crisis by using Peyton and Eli Manning!!
One person at the town hall meeting wanted to know if his plans to move on included the selection of Indiana Congressman Mike Pence as a running mate.
“I’m very proud and I know that all of you are proud of Mike Pence as well,” responded McCain.
The Republican frontrunner didn’t rule it out but said he needs to secure the nomination before he picks a running mate.However, he did suggest making use of Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning if elected. McCain said his healthcare plan will focus on wellness and fitness.
“Let’s get some great athletes, maybe the Manning brothers, just off the top of my head, who these young people look up to and respect and admire and ask them to go around to schools,” suggested McCain.
That’s the plan. Get the Manning Brothers to go to some schools! That will fix everything!
Also on another note, McCain is being challenged on the Indiana ballot because he didn’t turn in enough signatures!
Here is his comment on that:
McCain also addressed a Democratic challenge to his ballot status in Indiana.
The Democrats say his campaign didn’t file the required number of petition signatures to get on the May primary ballot.
McCain says he relies heavily on the governor to make sure he’s on the ballot and, he said, he’s sure Mitch Daniels can do that.
And here is the Democratic Party Chair’s response;
“If John McCain thinks he can bring his national campaign’s shady ethical standards to Indiana by getting his friend Mitch Daniels to wave a magic wand to get him on the ballot, then he and his cronies are in for a big surprise,” said Indiana Democratic Party Chair Dan Parker. “They think they can bend the rules to sneak their man onto the ballot with closed door meetings and shifting stories and Hoosier voters won’t notice. Those are not the ethical standards Hoosiers expect from a presidential candidate or our statewide elected officials.”
McCain, ready to deceive from day one!
