Possible President Parade Presses On: McCain, Friday, 5:30pm, The Westin

John McCain is coming to Seattle. This appearance, while putatively in support of his nomination campaign, will actually be one of the first stops in his presidential campaign--his nomination is a foregone conclusion now that Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race.

Democratic candidates have taken Washington in every election since 1988--but before that, Washington had gone Red in four consecutive elections.

McCain's campaign will see Washington as a potential pickup as he attempts to bring moderates back to the Republican fold.

No more details on the event are available. There will be at least one event that's open to the public, but the time/place are TBA.
