McCain aides told CNN's Dana Bash Wurzelbacher would appear with the Republican presidential candidate at his first campaign event in Defiance, Ohio. But in what was slightly awkward moment for McCain, Wurzelbacher was nowhere to be seen when the Arizona senator called out for him. A campaign aide later said Wurzelbacher had "decided not to come"
Wurzelbacher also said he is headed to Philadelphia for a charity event unrelated to the campaign and has no plans to meet up with McCain today.
Wurzelbacher also said he had gotten an initial call about coming to the morning rally, "but no one called back to confirm," and was "not happy" that McCain had called out his name and he wasn't there.
"The Los Angeles Times refuses to make that videotape public. I'm not in the business of talking about media bias but what if there was a tape with John McCain with a neo-Nazi outfit being held by some media outlet? I think the treatment of the issue would be slightly different."
McCain over 40 days since a press conference.
Palin 25 days without.
Lack of confidence or got questions that need detailed answers? Forget it.
Need accountability and real straight talk? Maybe next year.
Want answers? A steady hand showing interest in public discussion and good will? Not here.
Need credibility with explanations of policy, or growing concerns? Read the daily talking points, my friends!
An absolute embarrassing disgrace.
Which one of you has the "Secret Dinner Video Tape" ?
Newsmax reports that it started at the LA Times -- Then went hidden in a knapsack & transported via burro to Media Matters -- Then it was flown stashed in a purple & pink hippie flower box (with two orange bows) to The Daily Kos -- & the last confirmed movement was just a few days ago, when it was sighted inside of Madonna's stage gear 18 wheeler headed for a private showing at a San Francisco fundraiser for Prop 8.
