Bring out ya dead

"John McCain, campaigning in a funeral home, hoped for a large turnout by the living Tuesday as Michigan voters judged the Republican presidential pack in a snowy primary."

Am I the only one who finds the symbolism of John McCain campaigning in a funeral home a lot more hilarious than the deflated glibness of the Associated Press? I know that he's become something of the front-runner again in GOP race, but is anyone running his campaign right now? Is this a micro-trend of voters McCain has spotted? People who like to "get away from it all" by hanging out in the embalming laboratory? Forget post-modern candidacy. This is a post-mortem candidacy.
