SPRINGFIELD, MO.–While the Obama entourage–Barack and Michelle Obama, their daughters, campaign staff, travel press– was awakening in the heart of the Ozark Mountain Country on Sunday, the ad team released a new spot jamming John McCain with Vice President Cheney’s tout of the McCain Palin ticket on Saturday.
(This corner of Missouri is usually a GOP stronghold; Obama took the time to stump here to cut down on McCain’s margins, making it easier to win this battleground state.)
“I’m delighted to support John McCain and… I’m pleased that he’s chosen a running mate with executive talent, toughness and common sense, our next vice president Sarah Palin,” Cheney said in Wyoming.
Obama on Saturday in Pueblo, Col. called this an endorsement as it Cheney was for the first time coming out for McCain; perhaps a better way is just to say Cheney was just reaffirming his backing for the GOP ticket.
