Another Monday, Another John McCain Tour Launches
John McCain launched his "Call to Action Tour" today in Miami with a health care roundtable. He travels Tuesday to Tampa for a speech at the Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. During the week, he'll also hit PA, OH, IA and CO. This is McCain's third themed tour since becoming the presumptive GOP nom.
As the Dem race chugs on, McCain is bound to launch another tour of impoverished towns and swing state hamlets. That said, here are On Call's suggestions for McCain tours to come:
The Call To Inaction Tour: McCain, bored with the opponentless campaign, retreats to AZ (via Cindy McCain's corporate jet) to retool family grilling recipes. Stops include McCain's backyard grill and patio, kitchen and porch swing for post ribs nap.
The Hillary I Know Tour: McCain criss crosses the Hoosier State reminding voters that HRC once drank him under the table -- even if she showed herself to be a shot sipper during a recent stop in PA. If IN voters want a real fighter in the White House, he'll advise, they'll throw another monkey wrench into the Dem contest and give HRC a much-needed March 6 win.
The Swing State Vacation Tour: McCain and fam decamp to Lake Winnipesaukee. From there, they head to Aspen, Virginia Beach and Miami. This running for president stuff is such hard work.

Hillary showed herself to be a "shot sipper"?!!? You're kidding, right? After the sip to show respect for the whiskey, she threw her head back and there wasn't even a wince.
My cousin, who is a dock worker in Wilmington, NC, plans on voting for her just because she CAN down a shot of whiskey -- as well as our dads ever could!
No, Hillary Clinton is definitely NOT a "shot sipper." In fact, she shows a pretty respectable knowledge of whiskey etiquette.

@Jan:
Dear god I've never had such little faith in Jeffersonian democracy in all my life. Proper shot drinking is criteria for presidency. Paging Vice-President Blutarsky.

McCain comments about the need to keep Health Care Reform a family issue and not a National issue are disturbing, his advisers and fund raisers include now the big Hedge-Funds invested in Pharma , Insurance and Hospitals for profit chains like KKR and Blackstone , etc., so he is never going to do anything about Health Care Reform, just more talk ,shame ! ... after all he's got a great Congressional insurance health plan, so who cares,right?
