John McCain defied all sense of geography Sunday by going north and south at the same time.
The Republican presidential contender was visiting the battleground state of New Hampshire to attend a NASCAR race especially popular in GOP strongholds down South.
“In a state like New Hampshire, no one knows better than John McCain that it’s direct voter contact that sways the electorate. Seizing the opportunity to meet with voters on a large stage in New Hampshire makes an enormous amount of sense,” said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.
McCain was attending the Sylvania 300 Sprint Cup Series race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway and was accompanied by his wife Cindy, who recently attended NASCAR events in Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The self-described “lead foot” has joked she is on a first-name basis with several Arizona Highway Patrolmen. She and her son Jack also built a so-called drift car and competed as a team in an amateur competition.
