1. ...man that's ugly.

[gmoney]

2. I'm so tired of Petty partisan politics...

Has Tom Petty endorsed yet?

[Jackeens]

4. Tom's busy hanging out with Cindy's kid sister

[Xipe Totec]

3. STP, is the freeper's edge... nt

[Lint Head]

5. Petty was once arrested for 'Road Rage' in North Carolina.

:dem:

Veteran NASCAR driver Junior Johnson is a Democrat. He is a bigger legend that Dale Earnhart but didn't have the PR machine behind him.

[polichick]

6. Just a glorified ignoramous!

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Nice threads, Rich. Was there an unlocked dumpster near the track?

:rofl:

[Youphemism]

8. Finally the McCain camp is running a Petty campaign in both name and practice. /nt

[BlooInBloo]

9. One good thing about Obama being black: the media doesn't even BOTHER....

asking inane questions about how he's doing with the NASCAR crowd.

:rofl:

[Bucky]

10. Am I missing something? It seems to be a pretty bland, boilerplate endoresement

Nothing negative here, no Obama slams, no "code language" -- just the usual "best man for the job" patter.

“What we need right now in these uncertain times is a steady hand on the wheel — a leader we can trust to put country first, ahead of politics,” Petty said. “John McCain has always done that, and if you need proof, think about the sacrifices he made for America. I don’t think there is any question that John McCain is a proud American and he has done more to better America than anyone.

“John McCain has a plan to get our economy back on track not only for the folks here in North Carolina but also nationwide. He understands that higher taxes will only make things worse and he’ll support small businesses and create jobs. He will get us on the road to energy independence and give our troops what they need to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’m proud to support John McCain for president.”

12. pretty fittin for a campaign that's running in circles

[gmoney]

13. McCain wants to regulate NASCAR so they all make RIGHT turns instead of left

[Arugula Latte]

14. No one could have predicted McCain would get the Dumbass Redneck Nascar vote.

[Chulanowa]

15. Well good for him

I mean if it's what he wants, whatever.

Myself, I'm more worried about who his hat is endorsing. Probably Keyes. it certainly looks insane enough. Good lord. Who would put something like that on their head and then tolerate having their photo taken?

[progressiveforever]

16. Chalton Heston endorsed McCain from the grave.

[AlCzervik]

17. yes a huge shock indeed.
