•  FLORIDA CAPITOL NEWS
FLORIDA - Political antics by democrats and republicans are in full swing on the eve of visits by Senator John Mccain And Senator Barack Obama.

Today a guy wearing a John Mccain mask visited the Republican Party Of Florida in Tallahassee. The group "Progress Florida" named the Mccain caricature... "Millionaire Mccain".

Damien Filer, a spokesman for the group.... says the stunt was meant to draw attention to claims that Mccain is out of touch with middle class families.

"We wanted to make the point here in the state's capital, it's the Republican Party here that's raising funds for John McCain's campaign in Florida and supporting his efforts, and unfortunately, the fact of the matter is his efforts, his campaign, his policies are out of touch with working families in Florida."

The Republican Party Of Florida set up its own stunt.

Earlier this week... Senator Obama said Americans could cut down on gas costs by keeping their tires aired up.

The state Republican party put tire gauges in a bucket and posted signs calling Obama's idea, hot air.
McCain Thank You
