So Peter Cowman from MoveRed.org got a chance to tag along with McCain’s visit to Washington state the other day, as noted in this earlier post. When I asked him about how McCain treated this press corps, he had this to say:
“The press was a main function of what he does on the campaign tour. After the environmental round table, they went outside for 15-20 minutes for questions. From there, the press followed him around the watershed to take video and pictures of his tour of the site. The press was not involved with the fundraisers, it was closed door for just the donors and staff.”
McCain does generally seem to take more time to talk to his traveling press corps than Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama, at least from what I’ve observed out on the campaign trail here in Washington and then in Texas. That could be an interesting tool for his campaign come the summer and fall.
