The Washington Post notes that "the all-important first shot of John Kerry and John Edwards and their wives getting off the campaign plane" had a significant glitch. At the top of the mobile staircase on which they stood loomed a large, unfortunate sign:
"Million Air."
The sign referred not to the wealth of the Democratic presidential ticket, but instead to a small aviation services company that provided the staircase to the plane.
"This is not a good start to the Kerry-Edwards Double-Date Tour of Real America (nor is it a good start for the advance man, or former advance man who didn't catch the Million Air sign). Because this day is all about visuals, the first chance to see Kerry and Edwards together on the tarmac, stage, TV screen, to note their body language, glean clues about their chemistry."
