Attention Dayton haters: According to this article from Fox News, John McCain will be announcing his Vice Presidential nominee tomorrow at the Nutter Center, just a few hundred yards from where I’ll be. This is the second time I know of that a Presidential candidate has introduced his running mate in Dayton, Ohio, the first time being when James M. Cox announced his Democrat running mate at the Montgomery Country Fairgrounds, the Nutter Center of its day, in 1920. That running mate was Franklin D. Roosevelt. I’m no McCainiac, but I do like the idea that Dayton, allegedly a dying city, is involved in this year’s Presidential contest.
