John McCain's Move to the Middle
by Robert B. Bluey 09-05-2006
Sen. John McCain's Straight Talk America PAC today is trumpeting its newest addition: Michigan native Jim Nicholson, who will serve as the Michigan state finance chairman of the PAC.
The only problem is that McCain's embrace of Nicholson risks further alienating the conservative base in Michigan. After recently campaigning on behalf of liberal Rep. Joe Schwarz, who was defeated by conservative Tim Walberg last month, McCain cannot afford another mistake -- especially with Gov. Mitt Romney (R.-Mass.) courting Michigan Republicans.
Nicholson, although certainly an asset for McCain to have in Michigan for his '08 presidential run, is a member of the board of directors at liberal Christine Todd Whitman's It's My Party Too PAC. Although we don't know Jim Nicholson, his bio certainly paints him as a supporter of causes such as public broadcasting and liberal environmental policies.
