Gretchen asked Peter if he was coached by his Dad on the questions.
No, and he's not throwing back shots like Hillary Clinton either, Dad.
A clip of the event preceded Doocy's phone interview.
It was revealing. McCain actually stuttered. It was almost as if he were either having a "senior" moment, or a sugar high-and-low.
One could only imagine how Barack Obama would have handled the question from a supporter.
Somebody should have a contest for the best response to the question Doocy asked. Maybe the winner could receive a copy of the upcoming humorous campaign questions dictionary from Doocy and Son.
On whiskey shots, what the does for fun
Student: Hi, Senator McCain. My name is Peter Doocey (ph). I'm sure that you saw one of your Democratic opponents, Hillary Clinton, recently drinking whiskey shots with some potential voters. Now, I was wondering if you think that she's finally resorted to hitting the sauce just because of some unfavorable polling.

Even more revealing of McCain was his absolute inability to address another more serious question from another participant.
On whether or not he's a "typical white person"
Student: Senator McCain, the day following Barack Obama's speech on racism at the National Constitution Center, he remarked on comments he made during his speech about his racist grandmother, referring to her as a "typical white person." Would you characterize yourself, as Barack Obama would phrase, as a typical white person?

Read McCain's non-answer, wherein even he admits it appears he "ducked" the question...
