John McCain’s Five Day Tour
John McCain spent this past week touring the nation.
On Monday he ventured to Selma, Alabama where he met with African-American voters. McCain is hoping to increase the barely existent percentage of African-American Republican voters.
Tuesday McCain headed to the crucial battle ground state of Ohio and Youngstown. An economically repressed city, McCain reached out to the blue collar, Reagan Democrats. It is these types of voters that McCain is hoping to make the backbone of his campaign.
Wednesday he continued this theme in Inez Kentucky.
Day four was spent in New Orleans, where McCain attacked President Bush and his handling of Katrina. He stated this would not happen under his watch. It was an interesting theme as he placed blame on Bush and none on the local government that clearly failed.
Day five was McCain’s final stop was Arkansas, where he campaigned with Mike Huckabee. McCain addressed a class at Arkansas Baptist College and attended a hog roast. Arkansas is another swing state that could go either way, especially if Hillary Clinton is the nominee.
