“The speedway appearance helped McCain court NASCAR voters, and his campaign circulated video of the event over the Internet.”

Helped him court NASCAR voters? Don’t war-mongering, bigoted republicans already have the trailer trash crowd in their back pockets?

Beer Executive Could Be Next First Lady

WASHINGTON (AP) — On a spring day at a speedway in the South, John McCain posed with his wife, Cindy, and racing star Dale Earnhardt Jr., highlighting the couple’s political and business interests in a single snapshot.

McCain served as honorary starter of the NASCAR race that weekend in Charlotte, N.C. Earnhardt drove the Budweiser car, painted military camouflage, rather than its trademark red, to honor the troops.

Budweiser, then NASCAR’s official beer, is brewed by Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., whose products have made Cindy McCain and her family a fortune.

John -> Cindy -> beer -> NASCAR -> trailer trash… you can’t say that McCain isn’t well-connected to his voters!
