Another Philly-area stop for McCain
By Dan Hirschhorn
U.S. Sen. John McCain: Getty Images PhotoU.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) sure wants to push his presidential opponent to the limit in Pennsylvania. He rolled through the state this week with dual stops in Harrisburg and the Philadelphia suburbs, determined to compete in a state that many are forecasting will go to U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
Now he's planning on appearing in Wilkes-Barre on July 23, The Times Leader reports.
Details are still being finalized, but it looks like he'll depart from the requisite town hall meeting in favor of a luncheon, though a second event in this town 100 miles north of Philadelphia could also be in the works.
The luncheon is being coordinated by Dan Meuser, who lost a close primary race this year to Chris Hackett to be the GOP nominee for the 10th Congressional District.
