McCain: Screw the drowning people, this is my chance to look presidential.
It must be said that Iowa Gov. Chet Culver is a Democrat, but still,
An aide to Gov. Chet Culver said Thursday that Republican presidential candidate John McCain ignored the governor's request to cancel a campaign visit amid a massive flood recovery effort in the state......
Patrick Dillon, Culver's chief of staff, said the governor was concerned that McCain's trip would divert local law enforcement from the flood recovery effort to provide security for McCain.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama canceled a scheduled visit to eastern Iowa last week at the request of state officials.

But then again, as I thought at the time, that photo op really isn't available to McCain what with his arms and his age.
