As noted yesterday, this Obama trip to the Middle East and Europe has gotten way bigger
than the McCain camp had anticipated. The media is so busy showing
photos of Obama and General Petraeus helicoptering around Iraq they
have no time to cover John McCain's golf cart ride with former
President Bush when McCain visited the Bush family compound in
Kennebunkport, Maine. (Note to Senator McCain: if you want to avoid
looking like you're too closely aligned with the Bush family, perhaps
you should stop hanging out with them s
o often).
In a bid to force himself back into the spotlight, Robert Novak reported last night John McCain will announce his vice presidential pick this week. The McCain campaign hopes the media will spend some time covering the vice president choice and forego some coverage of Barack Obama meeting with European leaders Merkel, Sarkozy, and Brown.
Sources
close to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign are suggesting he
will reveal the name of his vice presidential selection this week while
Sen. Barack Obama is getting the headlines on his foreign trip. The
name of McCain's running mate has not been disclosed, but Mitt Romney
has led the speculation recently. (Link)
