‘Lucky’ McCain Donor Can Win NH Trip

Wed, January 02, 2008 - 2:03 PM

Act now for a chance to traipse through New Hampshire snow with Sen. John McCain on the day the Granite State holds its presidential primary!
To be eligbile to win this prize, just forward a $50 donation between today and Friday to his campaign, says the Arizona Republican's campaign manager, Rick Davis.
"Be the lucky person who gets to spend Jan. 8 in New Hampshire with Senator McCain and the campaign staff as we push on to victory!” urges Davis, in an e-mail this week to supporters.
“Spend the final 24 hours with us working to turn out voters and celebrating a great win in the Granite State,” Davis also writes.
The odds of winning this contest are long, however. Others eligible to be selected for "this opportunity to be a part of McCain history" include every maxed-out donor to McCain’s campaign.
But the winner will stay at one of the official McCain headquarters' hotels on January 7 and January 8, attend the final New Hampshire town hall and rally and work with the campaign volunteers on McCain's "Election Day Get Out the Vote" activities.
Davis adds: “The winner also will attend the election night hospitality suite and election night 'victory party' and be there to cheer on Senator McCain as he wins the New Hampshire Primary."
Of course, McCain's victory is not quite set in stone and things may not turn out so celebratory for him that night.
Still, McCain has regained some momentum after his early lead in New Hampshire evaporated, and recent statewide polls show him closing the gap with longtime front-runner Mitt Romney.
Davis' e-mail says the McCain campaign will contact the winner by phone by this Saturday – so they will have time to make their own travel arrangements to New Hampshire.
No details on how, exactly, the winner will be selected was offered by Davis.
