New York and Atlanta, and the murmur of persons on headset phones executing the same. This week is the trenches: flesh-urgent, fund-boosting, touring, poll-using, strategizing, grinding out 8-party times in Michigan and Georgia and New York and SC. "OTS" is, as earlier talked about, Trailese for "Opportunity to Smoke," which with quite couple of exceptions only the techs seem to do - and do a whole lot - and which is prohibited on the buses even if you assure to exhale very cautiously out the window and so just about the only superior factor about F&Fs is that they’re basically 1 lengthy OTS, despite the fact that even listed here you have to go all the way exterior in the cold and seem at Flint, and the techs are necessary to get permission from their producers and let them know particularly the place they’ll be. It’s genuine that McCain’s young team and Press Liaisons are all pretty interesting and laid-back again and amusing, with a incredibly likable sort of Ivy League-frathouse camaraderie among them (their large thing this week is to appear up to just about every other and pantomime karate-chopping the person’s neck and yell "Hiiii-ya!" so loudly that it annoys the Twelve Monkeys), but their camaraderie is insular, sort of like a military unit that’s been via beat alongside one another, and they are markedly careful and reserved about pencils, and even off-file will not converse quite considerably about on their own or the campaign, evidently warned by the High Command to avoid diverting awareness from their candidate or allowing one thing slip that could hurt him in the press.
