"You can't win the White House just by saying you're not Hillary Clinton," said Jon Fleischman, publisher of the conservative Web site Flashreport.org and a vice chair of the California Republican Party. "Before he focuses on her, he's got to focus on his base. And he doesn't have it yet.".......

He's seen as too liberal for his party's base and too conservative for independent voters who want to end the war in Iraq.
His speech before the influential Conservative Political Action Conference will show whether he can start to mend his relationship with the conservative activists .....
Each of the remaining GOP presidential candidates - in addition to President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney - will address its 6,000 attendees over the next three days.....
They think that his past stances on immigration are too liberal and that he has not supported Bush's tax cuts. It doesn't help that, as Keene puts it, McCain "blew off" last year's gathering.....
Also hurting McCain is that he doesn't have the backing of conservative talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, whose program provides the soundtrack for the party's base. Limbaugh conceded on Wednesday's show that McCain appears to be well on his way to becoming the party's nominee. Limbaugh remains skeptical that McCain is sufficiently devoted to conservative principles. It's not just that McCain reaches out to Democrats, Limbaugh said, "it's that he's in league with them."

I am willing to bet that the article said “assuage”, but I know McCain really wants to “sausage” conservatives because he has been screwing us for years.
How does he explain that?
He and his boy Linseed can not “sausage” me at all.
They can keep their sausage to themselves. LOL
Lloyd Bridges, RIP.
Is there a link for that?
Yup —you’ve combined two things people don’t want to see made —sausage and politics — :-)
McCain could still be defeated if we could just make everyone realize that he wants to sausage all of us.
Then here’s my message to you; you’ll be helping to stack the Supreme Court with leftists, you’ll be helping to get Socialized medicine for your children or grand-children and you’ll help to get some of our troups killed in a hasty pull out from Iraq. Thanks.
Preferably a chorizo.
LOL!
Ha! I was just thinking it would have to be chorizo. GMTA
You are trying to sausage us with the same old sausage Rudy used.
I prefer being “Frank” with you.
is this info in the public domain or how does he know it? I don’t disbelieve it for a second, i just wondered if it was verifiable and if so, why it isn’t being considered by voters.

Have you been sausaged by McCain yet?
We don’t want this but we are going to get this, at least as The Nominee. And if he is to be president we must hope that his VP choice is really good. That is more important going in this time than in past elections.
Nah. ‘Sausage’ sounds appropriate.
