It was only a small thing but it hit me as something that you wouldn't see in the MSM report on McCain.
After their speeches, Palin and McCain ducked into The Chocolate Factory to greet customers and sign autographs. After Palin met a few people, she turned to the ice cream counter and said:
"I've got to get the moose tracks, please. Moose tracks, you know, near and dear to my heart. I can't go wrong with it." She was handed a waffle cone with a giant scoop.
Then McCain and his wife came up to order. The senator asked for a recommendation and then decided on watermelon sorbet. Cindy McCain ordered a brownie.
The woman behind the cash register, Becky Luft, 20, was flush with excitement and her friend described her as McCain's No. 1 fan. McCain came around the counter to pose for a picture with her.
They actually wrote about McCain and Palin being regular folks and not put in the generic Obama surrogate parroting the same, tired "4 more years of failed Bush policies etc" at the end of the article. This little blurb actually put a human face on the candidates the same way as all the blushing coverage of Obama's vacation did. I think it is just a momentary lapse in the AP and Terence Hunt will probably be given a severe talking to but it is nice to see.
