Geo and I will be there. And today the John McCain campaign came to South Burlington. Of course, we made our way up to the front. We shook hands with the Senator and he signed not one – but two – of Geo’s McCain cover magazines (Newsweek and US News and World Report).
We were impressed that he makes good eye contact with each person he greets, that he is warm and genuine. In his speech in person, he comes across with more passion than on TV, and that was fun to see. One piece of news he brought with him - the morning edition of the Washington Post noted he has a record of zero dollars of “pork barrel” spending earmarked for Arizona, while Senators Clinton and O’Bama have millions and millions going to their states. Also noteworthy, today is the day Mitt Romney will endorse his candidacy.
This was the fourth time we have seen Senator McCain. Prior times were in Burlington, Hinesburg and Montpelier. We will frame Geo’s covers and add our McCain memorabilia to our collection.
After the rally we headed to Tiny Thai for a valentine celebration. We stopped at Quality Bakery on the way home to buy a cake to share with Adriene.
