Thank you for your courage,nike obuv d��mska,” McCain said. “By the way, I was at an event earlier this morning and I introduced you and even though you weren’t even there, they cheered.”A McCain aide said the error was a simple miscommunication. Wurzelbacher told CNN the campaign had not called to confirm that he should come.Mishap over, Joe joined McCain for the rest of the candidate’s bus tour through this crucial swing state.“Should we hear from our celebrity?” McCain asked the crowd before ceding the stage briefly to Wurzelbacher in Sandusky.Joe said he hadn’t prepared anything but made a few remarks anyway, encouraging people to do research before they vote.“Get involved in the government,ugg slovenija, that way we can hold our politicians accountable,” he said.By the end of the day,kecove lacoste, his remarks were more polished: he told everyone he was voting for McCain.Photo credit: Reuters/Brian Snyder (McCain greets Joe the Plumber)
