Bad enough that "they" stole Ohio but now McCain to say Veep choice here?

[Botany]

Betya "they" are scrambling to get 10,000 people together for McCain's veep
party/veep announcement ..... Dayton is a good choice too one of the top
ten Cities that is dying.

The Politico Web site reported there are plans to hold a large-scale event in Dayton next Friday --
the same day as McCain's 72nd birthday. McCain may use the vice presidential announcement to
limit discussion of his age -- an issue that has sway with some voters, Preston reported.

"I think what you try to do is balance it out against other news and maybe presenting the vice presidential
running mate on his birthday is the other news," Beck said.

1. We are going to make 72,000 calls to independents on Friday in PA

As a birthday Present to Mr. McCain.

[President Decider]

2. Isn't Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton? ..... that's where he trying to solicit people to attend from

[rucky]

8. Yep.

Dayton proper is bluer than blue, but the surrounding areas, including Wright-Pat, are way red.

11. What's more, the venue is right next door to WPAFB.

Wright State University's Nutter Center, where 10,000+ showed up last spring to see Obama, right before Ohio's primary. It will be interesting to see if the old man draws as many people. They were handing out tickets (one media outlet said "selling," but really, now) starting late last week and I haven't heard anything more about how that is going.

3. I bet that birthday cake has more candlewax than cake on it.

I say it's Mittens. But something tells me McCain so lacks judgment that he'll bring in Lieberman.

4. i also heard he will have romney, guiliani and huckabee on hand

for his announcement. maybe they'll all play plinko and the winner gets to be vice president

5. And let us remind them of his birthday party three years ago

I know I'll never forget.

EDIT ADD:

10. Btw - that Monday 3am position will be about a Cat3 at that point

and they think this nightmare could go Cat4/5

[Eurobabe]

12. Is that supposed to make people want to vote for the old coot?

:shrug:

13. He will make his pick this Fraday....

So that he can steal some thunder, and the TV audience from Obama's big speech.

That would all be Rove's idea.
