WINTER PARK, Fla. (AP) -- John McCain on Sunday was briefed on Tropical Storm Fay, which scuttled a political fundraiser that evening and is threatening to reach Florida as soon as Monday.

McCain, the Republican nominee-in-waiting, visited the Orange County Emergency Operations Center near Orlando shortly after flying from Long Beach, Calif. Speaking to a pool of reporters, he was optimistic local and federal officials will work together if the storm strikes.

''The good news is, obviously, no state is better prepared or organized to deal with whatever comes this way than the state of Florida,'' McCain told reporters after his briefing.

McCain said he hoped the storm wouldn't permanently hurt central Florida's tourism industry, which includes theme parks like Disney World and Universal Studios.

1. This is such a f$cking joke. It's amazing how a wimpy cat 1 hurricane

merits full mobilization in puke controlled FL, but a cat4-5 hurricane in LA gets McBush eating cake with the chimp.

2. He's learning to give lip service before the cake cutting. I'm glad he's concerned about Disney.

Fuck that idiot. Fay is on the Charlie path
