Senior Republicans said Rush Limbaugh and Tom Delay would rally behind him........"Oh, they'll rally behind me," McCain told reporters on his campaign battle bus, the Straight Talk Express.

John McCain will woo conservatives and independents with an upbeat message lauding Reagan-era economic values and a pledge to defeat Islamic extremism, strategists say.
"He has tremendous momentum coming out of this race, and we'll be out talking about the two issues that Americans care most about, which is winning the war against radical Islamic extremism ... and the economy," Steve Schmidt, McCain's key strategist said at a party celebrating McCain's win.
In the weeks ahead, advisers say he will try to use a strong national security message and an appeal to conservative Reaganite principles of low taxation and small government to win over disaffected conservatives alienated by his willingness to support unpopular issues such as immigration reform.

“Oh, they’ll rally behind me...”
I would not ASSUME that John.
Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:
Never forget McCain not only pushed the amnesty bill, he refused to allow exclusions for the worst of the lot. And he unloaded his infamous temper on his mild-mannered senate colleague for having the audacity to introduce this amendment.
While I regret some of you may be annoyed by what you feel is spamming this message on campaign threads, it is an important message on a key vote which needs to get out. Therefore, I've got to go with the overwhelming majority who is supportive.
McQueeg needs to learn a few things about Reagan era economics.

Good luck with that John.
I'm listening to Rush right now, are you?
Wake up, Juan! You’re dreaming!
I was stuck listening to talk radio on the road today and it ain't pretty.
Hey McCain...SCA-REW!
Key word: Independents....that is the only way he can win.
I'm listening to Rush right now, are you?
Don't think mclame has any concept of cold day in hell and what it means. LOL
It’s the only way anyone can win.
Maybe it’s just his delivery during the debates (ho hum), but I don’t remember anything John McCain has said about the economy. Also, the only thing I remember about the WOT is “chase OBL to the ends of the earth” talk and “I didn’t support Rumsfeld when only my friends the democrats were doing that”. Did I miss something?
Eff John McCain.
Indeed - that’s big assumption on his part, especially with so many delegates left to decide. Note to Huck supporters: from here on out, a vote for Huck is a vote for McCain...
Ann Coulter said it best, “John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth.”
Bears repeating in bold :)

Not this conservative. If he’s the nominee I ain’t voting. He’s no better than what we’d get from the Democrats so why bother. If this country has to go down the tubes I’d rather a Democrat was responsible.
Go ahead and flame away. But you’ll have to convince me McCain is even a speck better than a Democrat. And you’ll never succeed.
Juan Valdez can smell the coffe but not Juan McCain.
