McCain in state tomorrow
Posted by David Postman
State Republican Chairman Luke Esser just told us that John McCain will be in Seattle tomorrow.
That's surprising for a couple of reasons. McCain's campaign had said he wouldn't make it to the state before Saturday's caucus, but more likely would be here some time before the Feb. 19 primary. Also, with Mitt Romney dropping out today, there isn't much of a race left.
Of course, with Romney out, Mike Huckabee's campaign may see a chance to do better in Washington state this Saturday.
Representatives of both McCain's and Huckabee's campaigns in Washington state have told me that they thought Romney was the best organized in Washington state.
MORE: Times reporter Ralph Thomas just talked with McCain spokesman Will Nichols. Why the sudden change:
“It's the nature of things right now. It’s not a daily change, it’s an hourly change."
McCain will appear at the Westin around 5:30 p.m. There are not further details yet, but the campaign says there will be at least some event open to the public.

SeattleGal, I'm still waiting for some details, but the campaign says there will be a free, public event at the Westin at about 6 p.m.

I hope someone will ask him about his unending hatred toward Boeing. McCain is a man that Boeing employees should fear.
Why does he think we should have new tankers made by the French instead of 767s made right here in the Puget Sound area? What about his other anti-Boeing stances like his opposition to the C17?
The local press cannot continue to give McCain a free pass in this area. Boeing is too important to our local economy (and our country).

I don't think McCain is against Boeing so much as against illegal procurement practices.
