The cinetrix was amused when WaPo's The Trail reported yesterday:
Instead of spending his time obsessing about the rain and snow, however, McCain observed his usual election day ritual of going to the movies, in this case, "There Will Be Blood" with Daniel Day-Lewis. He had been mulling over the idea of watching the Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men," but decided that might not be the best film to see while vying for front-runner status in the GOP presidential race.
How self-aware! Unfortunately, according to the AP:
Sen. John McCain... hoped to relax at the movies with his wife, Cindy, on a rainy South Carolina Republican primary day. But he never got the chance.
The Arizona senator said he'd hoped to see "There Will Be Blood," a historical epic set in California's oil-boom days of the early 20th century. But as the day wore on, time wore out. The movie outing got canceled. It just "didn't fit into our schedule," said McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan.
Talk about a missed opportunity. Can't you just hear McCain telling Huckabee et al. "I drink your milkshake!" during his victory speech?
