McCain Coming to West Virginia

It will be another brief, limited-access appearance by the presumptive GOP presidential nominee and Arizona senator.

John McCain is slated to meet with Marshall University's football team during its Wednesday morning practice before he departs for Ohio via bus.

The Associated Press reports that "the stop will be closed to the public, and there will be only limited media coverage."

Others with the announcement include the Herald-Dispatch of Huntington, The Charleston Gazette, the Charleston Daily Mail and MetroNews.

State Democrats were quick with a smack in advance of the visit. “Why is Senator McCain in West Virginia talking football behind closed doors when he should be here talking about gas prices,” Party Chairman Nick Casey said in a release. “With some of the longest commuting times in the nation, West Virginian’s are hurting more from the high cost of fuel than residents of almost any other state.”
