LJ of Race42008.com: “Grillin’ McCain”

Among our friends at Race42008.com, LJ has always been the most stalwart supporter of Senator McCain’s candidacy.  Yesterday, LJ put up a great post about the informal barbecue McCain hosted for his press corps in Arizona… Take a look at ”Grillin’ McCain“… 

While Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are battling it out in Texas and Ohio, the de facto Republican nominee decided to take the weekend off the campaign trail to spend with a selected group of supporters (Pawlenty, Huntsman, Lieberman, Martinez, Graham, Gramm, Lott, etc. [Crist had to cancel at the last minute, apparently]) , aides, and reporters. It sounds like a really fun time. McCain’s ribs sound absolutely amazing too. It’s too bad that video or pictures were the only thing banned from the event, I would’ve like to see McCain “sporting jeans and a sleeveless denim jacket over a sweatshirt with a silkscreened family picture.” I just can’t picture that for the life of me.

So far, 7 of the reporters have stories up about today’s festivities, read them all:

  • Politico’s Jonathan Martin: “Grillmaster McCain plays host in Sedona
  • Washington Post’s Michael Schear: “For McCain, a Different Kind of Grilling” (Writing for the Post’s Trail blog)
  • Washington Post’s [always amusing]  Libby Copeland: “At McCain’s Ariz. Retreat, Ribs With a Side of Chi?” (Writing on the front page of the Post’s Style section)
  • Baltimore Sun’s Jill Zuckman: “John McCain, grill master supreme
  • Wall Street Journal’s Laura Meckler: “Back in Arizona, McCain Tends the Grill
  • CBS News’s Dante Higgins: “McCain Shows Off His BBQ Skills
  • Boston Globe’s Sasha Issenberg: “Chicken hawk: McCain meets grill

    1. Hi Guru, what made you want to write on Race42008.com: “Grillin’ McCain”? I was wondering, because I have been thinking about this since last Wednesday.
