"McCain Train" Debuts in Michigan
DETROIT -- Returning to Michigan for a campaign stretch before Tuesday's primary, John McCain's campaign team has tweaked its caravan.
On McCain's last trip through Michigan he traveled with press via chartered plane. On this trip, the press was given a bit of an upgrade: "The McCain Train," also known as "Straight Talk Too."
It's a 72-seat bus equipped with wireless internet and loaded with power strips, so no one will run out of juice on their laptops and cell phones.
The bus is being trailed by a black hummer with a satellite dish on top of it which provides a second wireless portal with a stronger signal for sending video back to home base.
The upgrade in transportation is another example of McCain's new place in the Republican race: from also-ran to front-runner.
