This is truly bizarre.
The AP reports that John McCain might not be giving his speech in the hall of his own election night party. He will instead be on the outside lawn of the hotel with a small group of supporters and his press pool. The speech will be shown on screen inside the hall.
the Republican presidential nominee plans to address another group of supporters and a small group of reporters on the hotel lawn; his remarks will be simultaneously piped electronically to the party inside and other reporters in a media filing center, aides said.
Aides said Thursday that the arrangement was the result of space limitations and that McCain might drop by the election watch party at some other point.
Only a small press “pool” – mostly those who have traveled regularly with the candidate on his campaign plane, plus a few local Arizona reporters and other guests – will be physically present when McCain speaks.
What? He might drop by at some point?
Why doesn’t he want to directly address his supporters? I don’t think I have ever heard of this before.

i guess he wants to make something clear from the get-go:
HEY YOU KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN!

It’s getting worse and worse for McCain, this week’s polling has Obama within 2% of McCain in GA, and now Obama has taken the lead in Indiana. Now McCain is advertising in IN.
