John McCain's election night watch party might be missing John McCain. Instead of appearing before a throng of supporters at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix on the evening of Nov. 4, the Republican presidential nominee plans to deliver postelection remarks to a small group of reporters and guests on the hotel's lawn.
Aides said Thursday that the arrangement was due to space limitations and that McCain might drop by the election watch party at some other point.
McCain's remarks will be piped electronically into the party and media filing center, aides said. Only a small press "pool" — mostly those who have traveled regularly with the candidate on his campaign plane, plus a few local Arizona reporters and others — will be physically present when he speaks.

I’m sure there is a reason...but I sure do not understand this.
Big Media is ready to bury John MeCain!
This sounds very modest - can’t he rent the whole Grand Canyon, or all of Las Vegas to out-do Obama?
Security concerns?
Good idea, if elected all hell will break loose and security has to be job one
Well this confuses me. He is either going to make a Up Yours statement to the media pool. Or say concession and leave quietly into the night. This is an odd story.
Maybe he is trying to show the world that it is “substance over glitz.”
Consider the source.....AP............this is a total lie..........besides when he wins he will need to be under big time protection from Bambi’s thugs
On the other hand. you look at Obama’s plan and you see a deprived king who wants to show the world his new possessions. Shame!

Couldn’t we at least have a candidate that acts like he wants to be president?
I sincerely don’t think he wants to be. I think the GOP pushed him.
I think it is also to show he isn’t like obana. obana is making plans for his coronation. This won’t be lost on a lot of Amercans.
I voted absentee, but canceled travel plans to stay home and try to protect my family and property.
Keep your powder dry for either situation.
The idea is that McCain knows he is going to lose, so he will he want to be alone. Chalk this one up to the same report of them pulling out of CO - total propaganda meant to discourage turnout for McCain.
I wouldn’t even be on a lawn after this election if he wins.
This man is a marked man for four years if he wins. I hope the elaborate stage and garbage remnants of the DNC Convention broohah party that Obama is setting up is starkly contracted by a modest acceptance speech with McCain.
Alot of people are struggling right now and seeing the unbelievable amount of money being spent on a party is too much to take.
This is outright propaganda.
The reporters are just upset theyre not going to get free beer and drug party paid for by the McCain campaign.
“I’m sure there is a reason...but I sure do not understand this.”
Well the positive is that McCain having a small affair makes Obama’s coronation look monarchial.
