McCain a standup guy, but rather cardboard

He appeared as a distinguished cardboard cutout at the Colorado Republican Party's state convention (for the faithful who wanted a photo), and now he's appearing more casually at the Denver Pavilions on the 16th Street mall.

The likeness of John McCain, the Republican's presumptive nominee for president, is popping up more and more these days, as are other cutouts. A cardboard Barack Obama, the apparent Democratic nominee, made the rounds at the state Democratic convention, but we missed getting him on camera. We're lucky we got McCain at the state convention. They were charging $10 a pop to be seen with the Arizona senator's likeness to raise money.

Looks like a Puppet......

He looks like an empty suit, talks like a parrot, and is about as warm as a cry for help.
