[Ravy]

Was he getting tired of everyone getting up and leaving from his speeches?

[DS1]

1. They were more accepting of his stiff delivery

[ncrainbowgrrl]

2. That gives a new face to retail politics.

:shrug:

[tekisui]

3. He was looking for someone, anyone to make him look more exciting.

He found them--stiffs.

5. Says it all about the GOP

Since all their polices are designed to get us there faster, might as well campaign there.

[Tempest]

6. He's trying to save on the cost of an ambulance

Considering he's only a step or two from being a client at a funeral home.

[FSogol]

7. Was Fred Thompson there? How about Rudy? n/t

[Cassandra]

15. Who do you think put his audience there...

in the first place?

[Hydra]

8. Perfect place for him to preach about the further death he will bring us n/t

[mikelgb]

9. Trying to rile up his base n/t

[dkofos]

10. He should do great with the dead vote!!

[zorahopkins]

11. Is He Looking For Gravitas?

He must be looking to be seen as someone grave.

Either that, or he wants to start coffin up the same old rethuglikan talking points.

[AlCzervik]

12. "Is this thing on, is this an audience or an oil painting?"

[yurbud]

13. the staff probably kept trying to fix his make up and put back in a box.

[iconoclastic cat]

Gotta love McCain - at least he's good to his people!

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. He's preparing for the Romney campaign wake

[elizfeelinggreat]

21. NPR

Said that he was standing (in the cold) the legal distance from the polls (100 yards maybe?). I don't know if they said he wasn't attracting much attention but they implied it and that he went into the funeral home for a "tour" because of its historical designation. ;)

[Miss_Underestimated]

22. His policies have stimulated the funeral industry, to be sure.

[MiniMe]

23. OK, this whole thread is a DUzy in itself

Well done DU :rofl:

24. well if he wants the group to be bored "stiff"

he picked the right place!

[Eurobabe]

26. Did he entertain the natives by popping out of a coffin?

[Poiuyt]

27. I guess he wanted to speak to people his own age

[Gidney N Cloyd]
