Instead of having to deal with racist preachers or touring the 57 continental United States trying to seal his party's nomination. John McCain quietly, and without the press, visited Walter Reed, the Army's giant medical center in Washington, D.C.
The visit, was "personal in nature."
Walter Reed is where thousands of wounded Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have gone to receive treatment, and presumably the candidate met with such veterans.
McCain is spending the weekend in the Washington area with no public schedule.
