John McCain's in the Store


Joe Average carefully puts on his suit before heading out for grocery shopping. He wants to look his best because you never know when a photo op might break out.

As he walks the aisles, he's amazed at everything he sees, and comments on it, "This is like an entire building full of food." Everyone does that, right? "So this over here is the fruit and these are the vegetables? Interesting."

Then Mr. Average notices another average family out to do their shopping. Instead of ignoring them, he sidles up to accompany them through the store. They're OK with this bizarre behavior. Except in the picture it looks like she's hoping to lose him somewhere near the mustard and relish. But he hangs on.

There's some friendly chit chat, very small talk, perhaps comparing prices and the sizes of the items, looking out for cameras. Just keeping it real.
