We reported a few weeks ago that Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain was scheduled to visit Meridian on March 31. I've been hearing unconfirmed reports for a few weeks that McCain may surprise us by visiting the area much sooner ... not missing the stage that the Blue Angels' "Wings Over Meridian" performance at Naval Air Station Meridian will provide this weekend. Keep in mind that McCain has a rich history here. Reporter Brian Livingston wrote a piece about the connection in our final Profile edition (McCain field was named after the Senator's grandfather). McCain himself had a short stay here.
From all indications, McCain may show up a day early to take advantage of the hundreds of folks expected to be on base this weekend. It will be interesting to watch. We'll keep you updated as soon as we have confirmation on his weekend travel plans. This we know: McCain will be visiting Meridian ... March 31 at least if not sooner.
