Political Play of the Day: McCain's Big Mac attack

SEDONA, Ariz. — What happens when a presidential candidate has a Big Mac attack?

Usually a traffic jam, even in a quiet resort town like Sedona.

Republican John McCain's 10-vehicle motorcade was headed back to his family retreat after several hours of debate practice Saturday afternoon when it made an unscheduled turn into a McDonald's parking lot.

Out jumped an aide, who hustled into the restaurant. In the meantime, traffic backed up because of the blocked-off parking lot.

The aide soon emerged with drinks, bags of food and a Happy Meal and climbed back into McCain's sport utility vehicle for the drive home.
