McCain has been very busy trying to round up a Clintonesque coalition of minority groups. The only thing that I can figure is that McCain either doesn't plan to run as a Republican or that he can persuade a lot of Democrats to cross over in the primary. He sure won't get the conservative vote.
Mccain thinks he can summon up enough Dems and Indy's and RINO's to vote for him in the primaries. His victories in 2000 were in states that mostly allowed open voting. Too bad there weren't enough of them to actually win the nomination. All he is succeeding in doing is creating an ABM clique that will unite to make sure he loses.
meanwhile the groups he thinks will lead him to victory are the same groups Hillary needs. So they'll be fighting over the same people, leaving the conservative block of Dems and Reps (far larger) open for the right candidate.
