That’s crazy to admit something like that:

This week, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain will come to Wisconsin to push for his candidacy.

Four years ago, he made a comment to a reporter that some people might not think would be so welcoming around here.

Reporter Mark Leibovich, now of the New York Times, heard him say that, as Leibovich put it in his 2004 article in the Washington Post, “He would hate to live in Milwaukee.”

“It was pretty random,” Leibovich tells Newsradio 620 WTMJ’s “Wisconsin’s Morning News.”
