John
McCain is baking a cake for tonight's debate with Barack
Obama, we have just discovered.
This
is just the latest sign of a more conciliatory tone coming
out of the McCain camp in spite of pressure from some of
his supporters to be more aggressive.
McCain
told reporters:
"It
will be a nice cake, I've just put it in the oven. I'm
having a bit of a clean up now. Then I've got to get the
cream and strawberry jam ready for when the cake is out
of the oven and after I have cooled it for about an hour
or so. Yes, I think that will be a nice gesture at this
stage of the campaign."
A
republican cake maker, Joilene Bratleshaft, told this website:
"This
is John's attempt at reconciliation, he's done this before.
John likes nothing better than a nice piece of cake and
a coffee. It's a nice thought - it's what we do in the
republican party when we're not invading countries that
can't fight back, and destroying banks."
