Senator McCain is coming to Gilford!
Presidential Candidate '08 Senator McCain's "Straight Talk" Express is coming to Gilford:
Gilford Fire Station
9am
Tuesday, June 5, 2007
The Grok has gone to a number of the McCain campaign events (Town Hall in Franklin, McCain's NH HQ during the first debate, and a number of the blogger calls). While there are issues with which we disagree with the good Senator on, we have found him to be likeable, honest, and (no surprise) straight forward. He takes questions from anyone (a big difference between his and the other blogger con-calls!), allows follow up questions, and generally seems to enjoy "talking with the folks".
I have found him to be honest with his beliefs - he says what he believes, and believes in those ideas strongly. He has shown that he will stick with those stances even if he could benefit politically by "going with the flow" and abandoning them. But no, he sticks to his guns, and whether you like him or not, agree with him or not, you HAVE to respect those stances and the courage it is taking to stick with them.
If you have the time, go!
