John McCain and his wife Cindy made an unscheduled stop at a Bob Evans restaurant in Marion, OH today. They didn't stay long enough for biscuits or sausage. But they did shake hands, sign autographs, and pose for cell phone photos.

Mary Dowler, who likes McCain's anti-abortion stance, said she was grateful for the visit. She thinks it will inspire campaign volunteers in the area.

Bob Schroll, sitting in a nearby booth, was less impressed. Schroll, who said he's "not a fan" of the Arizona Senator, kept his head down, working on a crossword puzzle amidst all the commotion.

Six-year-old Ryan Sheridan had to crane for a glimpse of McCain as older, taller diners stood up in the narrow aisle in front of the restaurant counter. "Can you see him?" someone asked Sheridan. "I can see the white hair," the youngster replied.
