Were his base is the operative phrase.
There were Democrat staffers who helped start the McCain campaign in 2006.
Some of them have since left the campaign to support Obama now that the nomination for McCain has been clinched.
It was part of a Deaniac strategy to take out the conservatives, not to win one for McCain.
And in the end, even if they lose to McCain, they still win because they picked the guy and he’ll still be willing to work across the aisle more than he will work with his own party.
Don’t vote for McCain because he is a “Republican” vote for him because he doesn’t have the expressed support of thugs, radicals, communists, and terrorists at home and abroad.
