McCain and the GOP base are not in harmony

......Because of this narrative from the primaries that there are somewhere tens-of-thousands of Hillary supporters “out there” who are not only not going to vote for Obama, but they are going to vote for McCain. The media are looking for these people for quotes and their website to keep this failing narrative going. First, this doesn’t make any sense at all since McCain’s politics are miles away from Hillary’s but second it seems that reporters can find a couple of people out there who supporters Clinton and now are supporting McCain.

However, it now seems like a core GOP constituency, Evangelical Christians aren’t so sure they are going to support McCain. Remember, McCain is the guy who called Jerry Falwell an agent of intolerance only to show up at his Liberty College when he decided that he needed Falwell and his supporters. Many Evangelicals see McCain as a flip-flopper who can’t be trusted. McCain has flip-flopped on just about everything so why wouldn’t religion be one of those things. The conservative church goers see through this........

....... maybe the media need to start focusing on the fact that the very constituency that Bush, Rove and Mehlman made the base of the party is not on board with the 2008 Republican presumptive nominee............
