A group of veterans, including a prisoner of war with Presidential candidate John McCain and a counterterrorism expert, will tour the state tomorrow (Thursday).

The Republican Party did not provide further details, however the name of the tour, “Not Ready to Lead” implies that they might be sending a negative message of Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

There will be three press conferences Thursday in South Portland, Lewiston and Bangor with the following individuals:

Col. Leo Thorsness, USAF (Ret.), Former POW With John McCain & Medal of Honor Recipient
Gary Bernsten, Former Career CIA Officer, Counterterrorism Expert & Author Of “Jawbreaker.”
