Sen. McCain, Gov. Palin coming to Valley on Tuesday

VIENNA — John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, and Sarah Palin, his vice presidential running mate, will have a “Victory 2008 Rally,” at 4 p.m. Tuesday at Winner Aviation at the Youngstown-Warren Airport in Vienna.

This will be the first visit to the Mahoning Valley for Palin, the Alaskan governor picked to be McCain’s running mate. The doors to the event open at 1 p.m.

Free tickets will be made available beginning Saturday afternoon. The locations for ticket distribution have yet to be determined.

McCain, a U.S. senator from Arizona, is making his third campaign trip to the Democratic-dominated area in the past five months.

McCain had a town hall meeting with some General Motors workers at the company’s plant in Lordstown and then went to a private fundraiser in Howland on June 27.

He had a town hall meeting at Youngstown State University on April 22 that was open to the public.
