“Yes, I can see that McC has his work cut out. Especially after his remarks re the Rep. gubernatorial ad. That had to anger a lot of the conservative folks.”
Yes it did anger a lot of conservative folks! And not just from NC. The NC Republican Party received donations from conservatives across the nation to support them in their actions and to keep the ad going. Those were funds that would have gone to McCain had he not put down the NC Republican Party with his comments.
This is “old” news, but I read that McCain’s Winston Salem speech is to be on judicial nominees. I can see why Fred is to be present, to buttress conservative opinion.
