(via NASDAQ) HERSHEY, Pa. (AFP)–Republican presidential candidate John McCain was forced to cancel an outdoor rally in the hotly contested state of Pennsylvania Tuesday because of a drenching rain, an aide said.

“The weather was a wet, wintry mix,” a campaign official said. A separate indoor event was set to go on as scheduled.

One week before election day, both McCain and Democratic opponent Barack Obama were in Pennsylvania, battling for the state that voted for the Democrat John Kerry four years ago but is seen as key to any path to victory for McCain.

A rally with Obama, who leads in polls nationally and in Pennsylvania, went ahead in rainy Chester, Pa., later Tuesday.

Rainy Chester, PA. They were not kidding. There are a ton of photos here and they are all amazing pictures but one of them stands out to me.

Now THAT is a Presidential image. Seriously.

So yeah. McCain scrapped plans due to rain. Obama – didn’t.
