DAYTON, Ohio — While my TWI colleagues are preparing for Obama’s speech at Invesco, I’m here anxiously awaiting Sen. John McCain’s veep announcement, slated for tomorrow. Free tickets for the 12,000-seater still available! Also, the mysterious ad announced earlier in the day by the McCain campaign is, in fact, a congratulatory message recognizing Sen. Barack Obama’s historic achievement.
Per the campaign, the ad will air on national cable tonight and in key states. Here’s the script:
So no veep yet — though McCain reportedly responded, “Wilford Brimley,” when a reporter called out a question asking who his running mate will be, as McCain made his way into his hotel here. No word yet from Mr. Brimley confirming or refuting this breaking revelation.
