Tracking Barack Obama and John McCain's Quest

Taking the Plunge

October 23, 2008 at 2:05 PM | 0 Comments

Sure takes cojones to dress up as a guy half the country hates and jump out of a plane! We salute Dan Brodsky-Chenfield and Scott Smith for dressing up as John McCain and Barack Obama to skydive. And--are they holding hands? Awwwh. How bipartisan.

As far as we know, neither campaign is planning any kind of extreme stunt like this. But with less than two weeks left, it may feel like they're one parachute away from a free fall.

At a campaign stop in Ormond Beach, Florida this morning, McCain invoked his bestie Joe the Plumber again and pledged he "won't make the same mistakes Senator Obama is ready to repeat." He hosts a campaign rally in Sarasota later this afternoon before taking the Straight Talk Express to Missouri tomorrow.

Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is in Troy, Ohio right now; she heads to Beaver, Pennsylvania this afternoon as her People interview goes to press. There isn't much about her platform in the glossy rag, though, which mostly covers her wish for daughter Bristol to get married soon and the division of labor in her household with First Dude Todd.

As we reported yesterday, Obama attends a rally in Indianapolis today before flying to Hawaii to visit his ailing grandmother; Joe Biden ducks his comments about the potential for a terrorist attack in the next six months while meeting voters in Winston-Salem and Raleigh, North Carolina.
