Leveraging McCain

By Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, March 26, 2006

WASHINGTON The first thing that strikes you about John McCain is that he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait possessed by too few of his colleagues.

Capitol Hill is about being "on message." McCain is who he is. His leaps across the aisle add to his legend.

McCain has only ONE audience -- the MSM. That is his voting base...

Almost none of his voting base can vote in the Republican primary. If he should somehow become the candidate, he would quickly lose favor with the MSM. All of a sudden the many skeletons in his closet would come roaring out.

Ah, but the strawberries! That's, that's where I had them.
They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with, with geometric logic, that, that a duplicate key to the Senate icebox did exist. And I would have produced that key if they hadn't pulled me, John McCain, out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow Senator. Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory...

John McPain always brings to mind the "Keating Five".

Second, his flight training officers in the Navy tried to "wash him out" of pilot training due to his ineptness in flying jets - bad move on their part, his daddy was an Admiral.

Third, he dumped his disabled wife for a rich young cutie.

A rather noble individual isn't he.

McCain is a joke. I am a lifelong Republican but would never vote for him.

Polls show 85% of Americans want the borders closed and controlled, NOW. McCain doesn't Polls show 85% of Americans want picture IDs in order to vote legally - McCain doesn't A majority of conservatives want permanent tax cuts - McCain doesn't

The vast majority of Americans believe in the freedom of speech and free association. McCain doesn't!
