Comments on: More on McCain’s Buffalo Visit http://thebuffalobean.com/2008/07/21/more-on-mccains-buffalo-visit/ Conservative News and Commentary from Western New York Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:24:30 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Buffalopundit http://thebuffalobean.com/2008/07/21/more-on-mccains-buffalo-visit/comment-page-1/#comment-215 Buffalopundit Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:19:04 +0000 http://thebuffalobean.com/?p=155#comment-215 Maybe Monroe Rising could learn to spell "squeegee". Also, as part of his 50-state strategy, Obama is busy making inroads in states that had once been written off by Democrats. McCain could have most certainly made himself available for an event so that average middle-class Republicans and Republican activists (if there is such a thing) could hear a rousing speech from the straight talking candidate, and get excited about changing some minds in Erie County. When Spitzer came to town for a big-ticket fundraiser in town last summer, he held a $30 event at the Church on Delaware that same night so that the little people could hear from him, too. McCain could have done that, but didn't. That's too bad. It probably would have taken him all of 30 minutes to zip in, give a speech, and zip on to Gioia's house. But since Republican activists and other non-wealthy people didn't complain, I guess it's all good. Maybe Monroe Rising could learn to spell “squeegee”.

Personally, I would have just asked for check, cash, or money order sent to the Straight Talk Express" and saved on the gas. Perhaps things would be different if candidates tried to take more than just the swing states. Imagine that, a candidate that actually put forth an effort in every state!
