Republican not bowing to party pressure

"I've always drawn my strength from grass-roots voters, and I'm quite content with that."
McClintock has benefited from his growing status as a national conservative icon. On Saturday, he was a headliner at a meeting of the Council for National Policy, a national conservative activist organization. The event, held in Colorado Springs, Colo., drew conservative heavyweights including James Dobson of Focus on the Family, former Reagan Energy Secretary Donald Hodel, and Richard Viguerie, founder of the Moral Majority. A fund-raising reception at the meeting netted over $100,000 for his campaign, McClintock said.
