Earlier today (9 AM PDT) Senator and presumptive GOP nominee for President John McCain was joined by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a discussion of energy efficiency and conservation at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

After press credential check-in I headed towards security. It was nothing more than airport screening except I did not have to remove my shoes.

The discussion

In the next post, Flap will report on John McCain’s energy policy, the reservations of the panelists and the post event protests and counter-protests.

Unfortunately, my video camera’s zoom microphone failed and my video’s audio was ruined. If someone else uploads clips of today’s event I will post them.
