John McCain Moves Farther Left and Courts Hillary Clinton Supporters
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina stayed to mingle with the crowd, whose members also included Clinton backer Harriet Christian, made momentarily famous on YouTube for getting ejected from the Rules & Bylaws press area.
Bower said he’d liked McCain’s answer on judges, in which he “pointed out that he supported Bill Clinton with both Ginsberg and Breyer.”
Another person who was present, but asked not to be named to avoid conflict with fellow Democrats, said he’d pressed a McCain staffer on McCain’s position on same-sex marriage.
The staffer “said it was the same as [John] Kerry’s position,” he said.
John McCain does NOT need conservatives, now does he?
Color Flap disappointed.
Flap figures that MCCain is afraid of what the new polls show.
But, I told you so……

When will politicians begin running on principles and stick to those principles? Why even have parties if politicians are so willing to blur the line?

Well, this comes naturally to him. Courting conservatives was pulling teeth for McCain. Sad to say, but this just might leave him with neither conservatives nor women, because I doubt the Clintonistas have enough sway to persuade a broad majority of women to flip.

McCain has to be very careful because he has so far alienated the conservative base. Note the fact that he is not raising any money.
Pretty soon conservatives will blow off the McCain candidacy, accept Obama, retool the GOP with Jindhal,Palin,MClinotck et. al. and move on to 2010 and 2012.

In my mind the election for 08 is already over. I can’t believe conservatives would even want to vote for McCain with these tacts.
