Campaign Cribs: Straight Talk Express, originally uploaded by Rob Bluey.

I passed on an opportunity to ride the Straight Talk Express last year when Sen. John McCain was trailing in the polls and in need of a miracle. I’m kicking myself now.

Martina Stewart of CNN reports today that the McCain campaign launched it’s first Facebook application — a tour of the bus. Davis White, director of advance for the McCain campaign, shows off some of the cool features on the Straight Talk Express.

The application, called Campaign Cribs, is a great way for the McCain campaign to make a splash on Facebook. It’s fun, holds your interest and connects the campaign with younger voters — exactly what it needs to be doing.
