Most of John McCain’s supporters presumably stayed home to watch their man in action during the Republican presidential candidates’ debate Tuesday night.
In contrast, Mitt Romney’s supporters staged house parties across the East Valley and the country to watch the talk-a-thon on live TV.
McCain himself was scheduled to drop into a house party after the debate concluded in South Carolina, said Doug Cole, an Arizona campaign volunteer.
Later Tuesday night and into the wee hours of Wednesday morning, the Arizona senator was scheduled to travel to New York to attend the graduation of his daughter Meghan at Columbia University later Wednesday.
McCain is expected to return to Arizona on Friday for a private weekend with his family at his ranch near Sedona. No public events are scheduled.
No presidential candidate would risk being out of the public eye long, of course. McCain is scheduled to be back in Arizona later this month for a breakfast meeting and fund-raiser sponsored by the John McCain 2008 Women
