Huntington, WV (HNN) –- Instead of Hollywood Hype, Presidential politics invades the John C. Edwards football practice session Wednesday morning, Aug. 6. Straight talking John McCain, the presumed Republican presidential candidate, will participate and speak during the team’s morning practice. The event is closed to both the media and the public.
However, Democrats have a gasoline price protest slated within ear and eye shot of the candidate. An official Democratic party source indicates that local residents and community leaders will carry “Exxon-McCain ‘08’ and offer a symbolic check made out from McCain’s alleged connections to big oil lobbyists.
The event will be at 10:15 a.m. at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, 2001 Third Avenue, Huntington, WV.
Efforts by HNN to reach the W.Va. Democratic party Tuesday night were unsuccessful.
