McCain Shoots Himself In The Foot
You’re John McCain.
You won a hard-fought primary battle with a number of other well-qualified Republicans and are now recipient of support (albeit grudging in some instances) support of Republicans nationwide. What’s more, a lot of the ill-will rank-and-file conservatives have felt about you in the past has been overshadowed when they closed rank to defend you against unfair attacks about your home life, age, health and citizenship from liberal media outlets like the New York Times. Now all you have to do is hold the party together and mind your p’s and q’s long enough to finish off what’s left of who ever emerges from the Clinton/Obama steel cage match.
So what do you do? Why, you schedule an appearance at the national conference of a pro-illegal immigration Hispanic nationalist group to remind everyone in your conservative base that you’re not quite as conservative on this hot-button issue as they would like.
Makes perfect sense, no?
