Please Come

John McCain comes to Des Moines Friday to announce he wants to be President. Who knew? The campaign just sent out an email to supporters asking them to show up for the announcement during "these challenging times."

Here's what the email said:

This week Senator John McCain is coming to Iowa to officially kick off his campaign for President of the United States, and we would like to invite you to join us. In these challenging times we need the principled leadership that Senator McCain will provide, and we would like to invite you to bring your family and friends to help show the broad base of support of our campaign enjoys.

And apparently, Jim Gilmore is announcing that he's running for Prez Thursday at noon at the Republican Party of Iowa headquarters in a live webcast. I would have thought the campaign would send something to us so we would know this. Getting coverage tends to be tough when we don't know about it.
