And McCain fails that test! Forget the 80% if the most important issues are in the 20%.

McCain has been under fire from some conservative Republican Party activists who believe he too often sides with congressional liberals and against his own party or Republican President George Bush. Among his recent actions that have raised the hackles of some Republicans is siding with Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., to cosponsor an immigration reform bill and brokering a deal with Democrats to derail a showdown over Senate filibusters of judicial nominees.
Much of the discontent extends back to years-old issues like McCain’s sponsorship of campaign finance reform legislation, support of some gun control measures and opposition to tax cuts pushed by Bush in his first term.
Many of those in the crowd Thursday wore stickers with a circle and a slash — the symbol for "no" — across the words "McCain 2008," a reference to his potential run for the presidency.
