Straight Talk Express flies through Middletown

Probably on its way from New Hampshire to some other battlefield state, John McCain's "Straight Talk Express" was spotted yesterday, November 3, on I-91 in Middletown, heading South. Jennifer Wackers took her life in her hands to get a picture while she was driving (notice she was doing below the speed limit). Michiel Wackers sent the picture to the Eye. He noted that considering Connecticut's leanings, it was the closest we were going to get to a presidential candidate visit. He also suggested that McCain himself, who put in more than 3,000 miles on the campaign trail yesterday, was likely not on board.
