ABC News’ Gregory Wallace and Sara Just Report: Sen. John McCain, R-Az., perhaps unknowingly, volunteered his wife for a beauty pageant on Monday that often features contestants topless — and, occasionally, without any decency — at the Sturgis, South Dakota, motorcycle rally.
“I was looking at the Sturgis schedule, and noticed that you had a beauty pageant, so I encouraged Cindy to compete,” McCain told an audience at the rally. “I told her [that] with a little luck, she could be the only woman to serve as both the First Lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.”

The Obama campaign fired back quickly. “It’s downright sad that on a day when we learned that 51,000 Americans lost their jobs, a candidate for the presidency is spending all of his time and the powerful platform he has on these sorts of juvenile antics,” spokesman Hari Sevugan said. The new McCain spot, titled “The One,” opens like a Hollywood movie trailer, with a deep-voiced announcer declaring: “In 2008, the world will be blessed. They will call him: The One.” It then cuts to some of Obama’s loftier moments — his declaration that “we are the ones we have been waiting for,” and part of his speech upon clinching the Democratic nomination: “This was the moment when the rise of our oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”
