Funny that the BCC got involved since the Marina is operated by the City.  Unless he needed county approval for a large crowd.

Are either Lara Logan or Betty Nguyen going to be covering the event?  Well, maybe Betty best keep her distance, PTSD and all...

[quote="rapunzel, post: 440403"]I heard on the treacherous NPR news that the McCain campaign got approval from the Bay County BCC to hold a rally yesterday.

The rally will have 10 speakers, and they estimate a crowd of 10,000.  It will be held at the City Marina on Aug. 1.[/quote]


I think it is that event I posted yesterday.  Some sort of country music concert.

Come on people this is 1/2 of the duo who's most recent famous song was, "Save a horse (and ride a cowboy)".  :lol:

The other 1/2 being a democratic supporter of Obama.

Would that be the guy named "Big"??

Since the Republicans are so convinced that the Dems are plotting to steal all their money, it is fitting that the guy named "Rich" is coming to PC.  :floor:

That is so not my idea of family values!  So, which is Big and which Rich?

Will this be McCain's new campaign theme song now that Abba asked him to cease and desist using "Take A Chance on Me" and Chuck Berry did the same with "Johnny Be Good"?

What are you talking about, PETA is their biggest supporter.  They have cosponsored the tour, are running ads in local newspapers, selling bumperstickers....  They are a treehuggers dream as they are exploiting humans and leaving the rest of god's little creatures alone ;-)

I was under the impression these guys were pretty liberal.  Is McCain's staff dropping the ball again?
