[Sen. John McCain, looking to heal a rift with the religious conservatives who undermined his 2000 White House bid...]


The arrogance displayed in this wording is amazing. Apparently this journalist thinks that McCain was entitled to the Republican nomination, but for the meddling of those damned "religious conservatives" he would have made it. Now McCain is forced to go to these same troglodytes and make placating noises at them just so they won't throw a tantrum and sabotage him again.

"...who undermined his 2000 White House bid..."

I remember watching Candidate McCain in spring 2000 - and it was torture. He was simply god-awful - nervous, fidgety, sloppy answers to questions. Bush, for all his faults, was the better candidate then.

I well remember the 2000 election. Early in the year, I really didn't know Republican candidate 'A' from 'B', or 'C'. However, I kept hearing the MSM pushing McCain in glowing terms and disparaging Gov. Bush. The 'endorsement' by the media tipped it for me, I voted for Gov. Bush!
