I wonder why John McCain thinks it would be helpful to have him in the middle of the post-storm mess:
McCain said in an interview with NBC that it was possible he would make his acceptance speech not from the convention podium but via satellite from the Gulf Coast region.
The formal business of the convention includes nominating McCain for president and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate on Wednesday. McCain’s acceptance speech, set for prime time on Thursday evening, is among the most critical events of the campaign for his chances of winning the White House.
Nothing like a little political photo-op to make relief and clean-up efforts go smoothly.
*ahem*
Nothing transparent about his motives, either.
