(I am working with someone who was there this morning to get video ... hopefully, I'll have it sometime tomorrow. - promoted by ryan)
I got there early, hoping to get a seat. However, I began to get the feeling once I sat down that everything was staged. I was directed to go to the crowd seated behind McCain with other veterans.
McCain gave his scripted address and then began to ask for questions. The audience was directed to raise their hands if they had a question.
My moment of realization that this was a sham..... Certain people just stood up and were called on. I thought to myself, "wait but this is random right?" "These people never raised their hands!"
I have never seen such softball questions in my life. These people were clearly planted in the audience. The only thing sweet in all this is I got two interviews with local media. Oh yeah and McCain looked down at my shirt and saw my VoteVets lapel pin when we shook hands :)
