Baseball Fans Chant for McCain/Giuliani 2008 Ticket
July 20, 2008 3:14 PM
ABC News’ Ed O’Keefe and Jennifer Duck report: One-time GOP rivals John McCain and Rudy Giuliani bonded over hot dogs and twizzlers in front row seats by the New York Yankees dugout Sunday, providing a snapshot of a possible Republican ticket.
A reporter disguised as a fan shouted to McCain, "How about Rudy for vice president?" The presumptive Republican nominee, casually dressed in sunglasses, a collared shirt with rolled sleeves and his Navy baseball cap, just smiled and waved.
Reporters then swarmed around Giuliani, asking if he would accept the role as vice president. "I'm not thinking about any of those things," Giuliani responded. "I know you are! You have a right to think about it. And I have a right not to think about it because we've got an election right now to think about and get it done right."
WATCH VIDEO OF MCCAIN AND GIULIANI AT THE GAME.
Although Giuliani will be speaking and raising money tomorrow for Republicans through his Political Action Committee, "Solutions America," the former NYC mayor said he won't have any major announcements, and he is speaking out to help Republicans around the country in tough Senate, congressional and gubernatorial races.
""I'm not making any big announcement at all. No big announcement. The only thing I'm trying to do is to help Republicans," Giuliani said.
Amid shouts of "I voted for you" and "Hey, Rudy, 2012!" Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., signed seven baseballs tossed from the Yankee faithful.
After McCain signed the program of one young fan wearing a Derek Jeter jersey, the child's father commented, "That's the next president of the United States."
McCain talked with managers from both the Yankees and their opponents the Oakland A's. Oakland manager Bob Garen asked McCain what it's like running for president. "It's like being in AA [baseball] and all of a sudden you're playing in Yankee Stadium," McCain said.
With the stadium filling, several more boisterous Yankees fans began a chant of "Hey, McCain" and applauded in an effort to get the candidate's attention.
When the 71-year-old presidential candidate failed to respond to the crowd at first, one Yankee fan commented, "He can't hear!"
McCain then turned and waved to thundering applause and shouts of "Run with him Rudy."
Breaking into a "Rudy" chant, the crowd watched as McCain and Giuliani, alongside his wife Judith, took their seats.
Judith Giuliani attracted nearly as much attention as the candidate himself, clad in a navy blazer, white pants, and turquoise necklace, topped by a Yankees hat embroidered with "Giuliani" on the back.
With the game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 6th inning, McCain and the Giulianis ducked out of the scorching heat, leaving through the Yankees dugout to waves and applause, and moving up to cooler, likely conditioned box seats.
Today wasn't the first time the two men have shared a slice of America’s pastime. During the 2001 World Series, Giuliani and McCain attended a game with more of a competitive edge. Giuliani rooted for the New York Yankees as McCain cheered for his hometown team, and the eventual winner, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"John and I watched some of the 2001 World Series here together. So, we have great memories, and very, very difficult memories of that period of time," Giuliani told reporters on the field. "Then, I went out to Arizona with him for two games, and it was a very emotional World Series, that particular one. He's a good friend. We've also been to the Fiesta Bowl together, and I've gone to sporting events with John throughout the years. He's a good friend. So, it's a little different now that he's a presidential candidate, but it's the same John McCain."
Joint-ticket or not, the day was clearly a special occasion and allowed Giuliani to move closer to at least one playing field. Giuliani's normal seats are a few rows back from where he and McCain sat today, and fans in nearby seats noted Donald Trump usually dominates the front row. Locals who were sitting near the trio say the seats have a $250 face value, but will cost over $2,000 in the new stadium next year.

America is finally waking up from the Obama nightmare


Posted by: spiinner | Jul 20, 2008 3:48:46 PM


Ahhhhh, a noun, a verb, and 9/11...McCain and Giuliani are two war mongers! I hope America is smart enough to elect Senator Obama as our next president. I'm tired of war mongers.


Posted by: Mia | Jul 20, 2008 4:16:50 PM


LMAO
Rudy's own family hates his guts. Yeah that would be a wonderful treat for democrats...
8 years of Bush is the nightmare. 4 years of McSame would be a horror.
Obama has no chance of losing this election unless the wealthy neocons rig the elction. The ONLY WAY McCAIN CAN WIN IS IF THE ELECTION IS RIGGED... THE ONLY WAY !!!!!
heck just visitng poitial message boards demonstrates that there is a 3:1 ratio of Americans more interested in Obama then McSenile


Posted by: Daryl | Jul 20, 2008 4:17:52 PM


Another reason to hate the Yankees, aside from being a life-long Red Sox fan!
Rudy shouldn't be dog catcher! But, then again, beeing VP on a losing ticket will keep him busy for a few months! Should help whoever Obama picks to win some debates, too!!!
Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

How these two jerks be trusted? They are enjoying the game while our tropps are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, the economy is sinking and the dollar is demolished.


Posted by: TJ | Jul 20, 2008 5:17:54 PM


At least McCain and Giuliani have accomplished something for the country. They're both centrists, which I think will help reunite the country in a way that no president has done since Reagan. Obama? What has he done but give us poetic words with no promise of anything substantial? A literature Ph.D. can give us poetry, but this country needs a leader.
McCain-Giuliani 2008!


Posted by: lucia | Jul 20, 2008 5:26:49 PM


McSame! I love it!


Posted by: Know The Issues | Jul 20, 2008 5:33:16 PM


It's soooo sweet to see Americans finally wising up.
The Obama thing is such a media drive myth. He'll lose in a landslide.


Posted by: Jo | Jul 20, 2008 5:44:01 PM


"McSame", hhm. You libs should comeout with something better than that, it's getting very old, and smart people get tired of it, i am sure. Everybody knows McCain is no Bush. Consider that you think you are so much smarter than Rep, McSame sounds very stupid. You never learn, that more you spill this kind of garbage, worse chances you get to win anything.
I rather vote Bush for another 8 years, than 6 months for Obama (not even talking about 4 years). Despite being not very popular he kept your asses safe dor all those years.
Only thing Obama is good is reading somebody elses speeches, watch him to give interview or debating, stambles on every other word. Because he switched his positions on daily basis and probably gets confused what he actually said day before on the same subject. To be honest, now what I think about, go ahead elect him, in 4 years libs will loose presidency and congress. Congress already has lower approval rating than president of US George Bush. So go for it, see if we care.

Who arethese wishful thinkers hoping Barack will just disappear ? It will not happen...McBush,McBushGuilliani ,McBushRmnney or whatever combination will completely destroy us as a nation...with whatever will be left of 8 ruinous years of Bush the wworst we can do is elect McBush.Forget about his color folks, Barack is the obvious choice here.


Posted by: dave | Jul 20, 2008 6:21:10 PM


The two "duck out" in the 6th inning due to the heat! Duh, July baseball games are outdoor events, complete with high temperatures and sunshine. Is this an omen for the McCain 2008 fall classic (November election)? By then the election outcome will be obvious to even the most fervent McCain support.


Posted by: Lou R | Jul 20, 2008 6:51:03 PM


McCain and Guiliani both centrists? Perhaps in your dreams.


Posted by: Dennis | Jul 20, 2008 6:55:37 PM


That's funny. I just heard on the radio news that nobody even noticed George W McCain was at the game, except a few dozen fans within twenty feet of his seats. And most of them were ignoring him while Rudy was hogging the spotlight, grinning and waving like's HE'S running for president.
Guess it's another embarrassingly slow day of no news from old George W McCain.


Posted by: wilderrr | Jul 20, 2008 6:56:00 PM


Incredible that McCain has 70,000 people cheering for him.
If Obama was there, there would be 70,000 booing him.


Posted by: Larry | Jul 20, 2008 7:00:11 PM


Read the article Larry. "Several" fans is not "70,000". Then read my earlier post for some facts.
If Obama had been there...yes...it would have been 70,000 cheering him. Like everywhere else he goes.
Getting a little desperate are we, Larry?


Posted by: wilderrr | Jul 20, 2008 7:02:23 PM


Daryl...The polls have Obama and McCain tied. How can you make a statement saying the only way McCain can win is if the election is rigged? The polls are usually fairly accurate. This could
go either way! Sore losers always think everything is rigged if they don't win.


Posted by: carolyn | Jul 20, 2008 7:02:55 PM


If you want the facts, then why is the media refusing to report that most military members refused to meet with HUSSEIN Obama?
Poor HUSSEIN Obama. The polls are now tied.


Posted by: Larry | Jul 20, 2008 7:04:48 PM


carolyn...the polls aren't tied. Obama's been ahead in 7 out of ten swing states for months...and McCain hasn't made a dent. If these poll s are "accurate" as you say...say hello to President Obama.
Add to that the fact that McCain keeps getting his head handed to him...like this week on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and the economy...and Obama will pull further ahead as Americans begin seeing how incompetent he is...just like Bush Junior.


Posted by: wilderrr | Jul 20, 2008 7:07:54 PM


Huh?
Rasmussen has Obama ahead by just 2%
Gallup by just 3%.
That means the polls are tied.


Posted by: Orlando | Jul 20, 2008 7:10:12 PM


What a sickening show...
Anyhow, Rudy is in no way on the list of potential McCain Veeps. He won;t win NY for him, and the conservative base would go nuts. But you know that already, so why even bring up the possibility?


Posted by: matt | Jul 20, 2008 7:18:11 PM


So your answer to Obama is
McShame? Boy what happen to the Republican Party, Remeber when we ran and old War Hero against a young guy with new ideas? You guys are a Hoot, and the grumpy little troll is going to lose by a landslide, Dole would have done better choice, Atleast he says what he means and means what he says. I really pitty how just plain unintelligent Republicans have become, I all you do is shout Slogans and wrap lies in the flag, Brownshirts thats all I see


Posted by: RaferJanders | Jul 20, 2008 7:18:48 PM


Thank god Obama has til November to keep screwing up. He is a joke.
Obama is over. Go Mccain...Should have been HILL!


Posted by: Green Mtn. | Jul 20, 2008 7:23:18 PM


Thank you, Mr. Giuliani for your words of wisdom, but we already heard Mr. Lieberman say the exact same thing earlier today. It is pretty sad to watch grown men who can't figure out for themselves what to say, until they get the daily talking points emailed to them from the Republican national committe.


Posted by: Truth Matters | Jul 20, 2008 7:31:13 PM


Hussein Obama? Obama Nightmare? Some people do not see the best thing to hit them since Kennedy. What could you possibly be thinking by saying such things? At the least your comments show your ignorance. At worst, they signify a continued belief that there is value in getting one's own way over everyone else.
Grow up for Christ's sake


Posted by: Rod | Jul 20, 2008 7:34:39 PM


Hey Larry - Obama hasn't accomplished anything as we all know. What he would accomplish if he wins in a miracle would be higher taxes, liberal supreme court justices, more open borders, and a welfare society.


Posted by: Dave C | Jul 20, 2008 7:40:21 PM


Obama NEVER had 70,000 show up just for HIM. What the media didn't tell you was that a VERY POPULAR Oregon based rock band played a free concert. THAT IS WHY 70,000 SHOWED UP!!!
Nice try though. It's fun to see Obama supporter's desperation.
LOVE IT

You mean they guy who covered up 911 and the guy who's for perpetual war and he doesn't even know who the enemy were supposed to be fighting is??? (Al Quaeda=Sunni, NOT Shia John!!!) This would be a cakewalk, Oh Please, Oh Please!!! As we used to say in the Army "Too easy Drill Sargent!"


Posted by: jeez! | Jul 20, 2008 8:31:19 PM


There were 75,000 people that came to see Obama at a campaign rally in Oregon.
Guiliani will not get the VP slot, he has too many negative against him. McCain probably needs him for fundraising.
And BTW Obama's not a Muslim!! Every news source in the country has debunked that lame rumor!!


Posted by: Jennifer | Jul 20, 2008 8:32:07 PM


Those seats are the same exact seats Rudy sits in every time he's at a game. I have seen him in them before several times.


Posted by: Those seats | Jul 20, 2008 8:33:46 PM


Go get him Captain McCain! We love you!


Posted by: tess | Jul 20, 2008 8:49:57 PM


Carly S. Foster wrote this for those who believe Senator Obama lacks vision and judgment:
1) On August 1, 2007 Senator Barack Obama stated that, “If he wins the election in November and an actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets in Pakistan become available and President Musharraf won't act, he will."
Senator Obama was of course immediately labeled as being politically "naive". However on January 29, 2008 our military implemented Barack Obama's "new" foreign policy. Using good intelligence and on-the-ground cooperation by local informants, we launched a drone into Pakistan and killed a highly-place al-Qaeda leader. President Bush did this without coordinating or in cooperation with Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf.
2) In October of 2007, Senator Barack Obama in reference to Iran stated "We've done incredible damage to our security and standing around the world for lack of diplomacy". Senator Barack Obama stated that as president, he would use direct diplomacy as part of working toward putting a stop to Iran enriching uranium.
As the first step in implementing Senator Obama's "new" foreign policy, the Bush administration plans to send an envoy to talks with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator in Geneva this weekend. William J. Burns, undersecretary of state for political affairs and the administration's point man on Iran, will accompany European Union foreign policy chief in persuading Tehran to stop enriching uranium. In addition, the government is considering opening an embassy that has been closed for over 20 years.
3) In November of 2006, Senator Barack Obama said the Iraq war has had "disastrous consequences" for the battle against the al Qaeda terrorist network and thus called for some of the troops now in Iraq to be sent to Afghanistan. In August of 2007, Senator Obama called for two additional brigades to be sent to Afghanistan. He has also consistently called for a phased withdrawal from Iraq.
Obama’s position on phased withdraw is now shared by the U.S. recognized Iraqi government. In addition, top U.S. defense officials now say they hope to send more forces to Afghanistan sooner than planned to tackle rising violence there and have recommend a cut in troop levels in Iraq. And of course, for the very first time on Tuesday of this week Senator John McCain joined with Senator Barack Obama in his call for more troops in Afghanistan.
4) In an October 2002 speech, Senator Barack Obama also stated: Let's fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil, through an energy policy that doesn't simply serve the interests of Exxon and Mobil."
It seems everyone in the United States is now embracing the "new" thinking on energy policy.

"I'm not 911 making any big 911 announcement 911 at all. No 911 big announcement. The only 911 thing I'm trying 911 to do is 911 to help Republicans 911," Giuliani said.
And don't forget 911.

Then why did oblama go to Afghan and try to talk as a war on terror ssupporter? Is he a warmonger now that he is basically saying the same as Bush and McCain have been saying?
obama: "just messin' with you man" since 07


Posted by: tom | Jul 20, 2008 9:25:12 PM


I want to know who's the better person to be president.
I call for a challenge between Obama and McCain in 3 games of "round the world", 3 games of chess, 3 games of 1 on 1, and 3 games of golf. While on the surface, these may appear as just games, in reality, these games are about strategy along with the testing of physical and mental endurance.
Both candidates have already passed their physical examines so this should not be a problem, correct????
The games should begin on a Friday afternoon, and end on a Sunday evening. Both candidates must put in a full week's worth of work before the games can begin. The candidates are not permitted to use stand ins or substitutes. Candidates are permitted to sleep and rest between 9pm Friday night until 8am Saturday, 9pm Saturday night until 8am Sunday morning.
Obama and McCain, are you up for the challenge?
Best 2 out of 3 wins in each category.

John McCain voted against a recent bill that will greatly benefit our Iraqi veterans! Thank God for the crossover votes of a few republicans, the bill passed even without McSame's vote. If his "no" vote was a sample of his patriotism, then we do not need McSame in the White House now or ever!


Posted by: Betty | Jul 20, 2008 11:20:55 PM


I like the McCain/Giuliani ticket idea. We let the Dems in, so much for any chance of gas price relief. Lets whine a little less about "global warming" and fix the current economic need. Alternative energy sources are needed, but we need offshore drilling in the meantime. With Obama as president, say hello to $5-$6 a gallon gas.


Posted by: Aaron | Jul 20, 2008 11:22:18 PM


McCain/Giuliani is a great ticket! I was so happy to see them at the game today & I can't stand the Democratic party any longer!


Posted by: Bobby Right | Jul 20, 2008 11:40:45 PM


Betty, $5-6 gas under Obama might hit $10. Ooops the Dems don't wanna drill for oil & want to use majic dust for fuel. Umm.. I don't think majic dust will work. Ooops..


Posted by: Myron & the Haze | Jul 20, 2008 11:43:33 PM


I think Obama will lose in a landslide. I don't know what he is trying to accomplish on his "foreign tour". I am so sick of hearing about it!


Posted by: Marv | Jul 20, 2008 11:45:51 PM


Why is John McCain refusing to sign the Standard Form 180 to release his full military record to the public? If "Mad Dog" McCain is so proud of his military record, then why is he hiding it? What is McCain afraid that we will learn?


Posted by: Swift Boat Truth | Jul 20, 2008 11:50:02 PM


Why does Obama not release his full military record to the public?
Because he doesn't have one!
Nothing to hide in the O'Carter camp as there is no military service at all...

The fact that Obama and McCain are essentially tied is NOT good for Obama. Kerry was ahead by a comfortable margin by this time.
It's over. If Obama can't pull way ahead by now with all the media adoration of him, then he's toast.
So glad we escaped that nightmare.

Larry: You are so right and let's hope New York is smart enough not to vote for Obama in the election. Hillary won New York but since she lost due to the wheeling dealing of Obama, Nancy, Dean and Reid the superdelegates voted for Obama. They are all underhanded and Nancy was extremely jealous of Hillary. Nancy wants to be the woman in charge. She likes the attention. Nancy doesn't want Hillary on the ticket. Nancy would like to be on the ticket herself who is she kidding. Obama is using the Clinton's for his own advantage and they should not campaign for him. Hillary made a mistake by endorsing him, she should have just supported him. Her fundraisers said no to donating money. They know what he did to Hillary. She should have won that nomination but she was cheated out of the delegates in MI and FL by Dean. I hope McCain wins the presidency.

I find it charming that McCain was doing the AARP tour of the US this weekend (corndog on Saturday and baseball on Sunday, followed by the Early Bird Special at Bill Knapps), while Obama met with world leaders. Who plans McCain's schedule? Really made McCain look old and weak!

Jane Hussein, McCain has been that for years and the only reason that Obama is in the Middle East right now is to act like he actually gives a crap about the soldiers and leaders over there. Obama is falling and falling fast. I wonder if he is speaking Arabic over there since he is ashamed of the English language.

I’m still waiting for ‘Swift Boat Truth’ to tell us about Obama’s military record. He brought John McCain’s record into question but seems unable to answer any questions about Obama’s. I know Obama has served with distinction. Other wise his followers wouldn’t bring McCain’s record into contest. Did Obama dodge the same sniper bullets that Hillary did? Maybe he faced the same fire as Bill. The one that burned the draft card.

We need a man who is not going to be so cavalier with human lives. Go away con posters, grown ups are talking.

who gave them the "FREE" tickets?


Posted by: deroy | Jul 21, 2008 9:13:09 PM


I quite agree with what Jo said. During most of the the 2004 election, Kerry was well ahead, with Bush's approval ratings in the 30s and 40s. Somehow Bush pulled out with a bigger margin than in 2000. I have full faith in McCain to win the election in this year, with a bigger margin than Bush.
I'm sorry, but experience will lead the country. Let Obama serve as senator for 10 more years or so and we'll see then.
Ideally, I'd love to see Dr. Rice on the ticket, but whatever the case, I will vote Republican. This country will go to the dogs with a socialist, I mean, Democratic president.


Posted by: lucia | Jul 21, 2008 9:35:42 PM


Poor "lucia." She wants "experience" like saying Sunni and Shia have no history of violent clashes:
McSame: "I think one of the tricky areas, of course, is the relationship they have with the Kurds. There's not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along." [MSNBC Hardball, 4/23/03]
Not to mention his frequent talk of Czechoslovakia, a country that hasn't existed for many years. Well, it sounds like Grandpa is the one who needs a few more years in the Senate to know what the heck he's talking about. Nice try at the Reich-wing talking point of "socialism." Too bad no one believes your bull anymore.

BTW, "lucia" (among your many other names you've been using on this post)... Sunni and Shia have clashed for THOUSANDS OF YEARS... you might want to pass that on to your elderly candidate.

Wow! After eight years of George W. Dumbf__k, and 12 years of his father (who sold missles to the freakin' Ayatollah!) and the senile old has-been actor who also ran us into a depression and expanded the size of government, there are people here who will still vote for a republican? Now I know why there are so many smart people in my neighborhood in Brooklyn: the retards all moved to this web site!
If you're making less that 10 million a year, the repugs are working against you & your interests, people. Smarten up!
