The Women of McCain's Campaign

Poor John McCain. Literally. His campaign is really running out of money. How can he still get the publicity he needs? Bring his mother along for the ride.

This was his mother’s first road trip, and Mr. McCain joked that her presence kept him in line. She also served a so-not-so-subtle purpose - her incredible vitality and good health tended to dwarf concerns raised about Mr. McCain’s age. She’s offering living evidence that the McCain breed exhibits sound genetic stock.

As she heartily tucked into a chili dog at a roadside restaurant that also featured catfish soup, the elderly Mrs. McCain again defied any such talk of frailty in old age (especially that of the gastronomic sort).

That's just adorable. Of course, McCain brings along his wife, which is to be expected. And his daughter, a recent graduate of Columbia University, is tagging along. She's writing her own blog, The McCain Blogette, complete with pictures of her, her mother, and grandmother on the campaign trail!

At first, I didn't think McCain would be a good president because of his views on some domestic policies, but my mind has changed now. How could I not vote for him? His mom needs to see him become president! There's not much time left!
