McCain's Oil Rig Appearance Cancelled

Update: Perhaps the big event was cancelled due to the big oil spill.
McCain can't catch a break. Apparently, McCain was going to helicopter to an oil rig tomorrow to counter Obama's speech and make a pitch for oil companies (more drilling) but the event was cancelled due to bad weather. 
Politico: While Barack Obama is speaking about international affairs in Germany before thousands of fans tomorrow, John McCain will be talking about a pressing domestic issue with an equally striking if very different backdrop.

Weather permitting, McCain will helicopter from Louisiana to an oil rig in the Gulf Coast to make the case for expanded off-shore drilling, says a McCain aide.
