Bob Lang stood on the southwest corner of Colby and Hewitt avenues in downtown Everett Tuesday afternoon waving a McCain-Palin 2008 sign.
The 88-year-old Everett man with long white hair and a broad smile resembled an American revolutionary with his tri-cornered hat. On top of his hat, Lang attached a cutout of the hard-charging General George Patton. Lang likes McCain’s military credentials.
Across the street, a half-dozen, considerably younger Obama-Biden supporters held their own signs. Outnumbered but not discouraged, Lang said he was pleased with words and smiles from passersby.
The Colby-Hewitt intersection has been the site of weekly anti-war and support-the-troops demonstrations since before the beginning of the Iraq War.
