NPR: Bus Ride with John McCain?

Bus Ride with John McCain?

Filed under: Election 2008

So, yesterday I blogged about getting an e-mail offering a chance to have dinner with Barack Obama if I donate as little as $5 by March 31st. Today it's John McCain offering some face time.

I got an email purportedly from Senator McCain himself, saying:

My campaign has come up with an opportunity for a supporter to join me on the Straight Talk Express for a day of conversation and campaigning. As a token of my appreciation for your financial support, you will be entered to win this seat aboard the Straight Talk Express if you make a contribution before midnight on March 31st. I hope you'll consider joining me by making a donation today. If you can give $50 or more, not only will you be entered to win a ride on the Straight Talk Express, but you'll receive a commemorative Straight Talk Express ticket.

So there you go. What is the Hillary Clinton campaign going to offer?

Okay people- do we want to have the trend setter for our president, or the followers?

Isn't it against Federal law offer a contest of sweepstakes to the public without providing a method of entry "without purchase"???
