He barely campaigns among Republicans or publicly speaks on our issues. <BR/><BR/>In public, McCain speaks more about reaching out to Democrats and courting liberal votes, like La Raza (http://blue-dot-blues.blogspot.com/2008/07/mccain-and-la-raza.html), instead of talking to our own party about our own platform. <BR/><BR/>If McCain does not start acting like a Republican in the campaign, he will find that Republicans will stay home, like in 2006. <BR/><BR/>It is very hard to go out and campaign amoung Republicans for somebody who is not publicly courting his own party's voters and issues. That not only hurts his chances of winning, but destroys our down-ballot races locally.Randy Samuelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422806680210032661noreply@blogger.com
