Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with the news that John McCain is trading in his Cadillac for a hybrid. We know this because he said it on his Twitter feed. The Arizona senator tweeted yesterday that he was getting a new Ford Fusion. His office added that he was sold after discovering how fuel efficient it was. This is news because you might remember when he was running for president last year, the senator admitted that he was still mastering the Internet.
