McCain Story of the Day   [Greg Pollowitz]

I heard Chuck Todd talking about the McCain town hall meeting this morning on MSNBC. The insinuation was that Fox News was told by team McCain that the event would have Republicans, Democrats, and independents while the reality was that the event was staffed mainly with McCain supporters. First Read has a write-up here, but this jumped out:

And, after McCain had responded to an earlier compliment about his military service by saying that he does not see himself as a hero: "The only thing that I disagreed with you on tonight is that I think that many people in the room — including myself — do believe that you ARE a hero."

This is exactly what McCain doesn't need. He does much better when he's up against a hostile audience.  The more anti-war hippies they let speak, the better the Senator comes across.
