For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: McCain attends biker rally!

Thousands of motorcyclists greeted Republican presidential candidate John McCain with an approving roar Monday as he sought blue-collar and heartland support by visiting a giant motorcycle rally.

And then responds to Paris's ad:

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds emails: “It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain’s ‘all of the above’ approach to America’s energy crisis - including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan.”

Is McCain showing that despite his age, he's a man of the people and NOT an arrogant, elite snob? Might these moves matter in November?
