Buttigieg's campaign considering copying McCain bus tour strategy
South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg's (D) presidential campaign is considering replicating a bus tour strategy employed by former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) when McCain ran for president in 2000, a Buttigieg aide told Politico.
Lis Smith, a Democratic operative and a Buttigieg aide, told Politico that she is planning to recreate McCain's "Straight Talk Express." McCain traveled on a campaign bus and invited reporters on the bus to ask him questions as he sought the Republican nomination in the presidential primary that was ultimately won by then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
Smith told Politico she has been studying McCain's strategy and contacting journalists who covered the campaign. She also said she has reached out to GOP strategist John Weaver, who helped build McCain's strategy.
