Why is this a surprise?? McCain is trying to get some of the conservative vote back just like every election cycle. He couldn’t support the tax increase before his primary election. McCain does what he always does. He threw Brewer under the bus because she is no longer useful to him.

If McRINO loses the priamry I won’t be be surprised if he talks to Don Bivens, the Dem candidate drops out and McRINO runs under the donkey banner. It’s his style. It’s all and only about him.

Well said, Stephen.
And I have very good insight into the pulse of the tea party conservative revolution. And believe me, the majority of us are NOT supporting McCain!!!

Captaindreadlocke,

When I said would people vote against mccain in protest I am talking about the general. If JD loses will the tea partiers be so pissed that they vote for the Dem, or a random third party and possibly cost mccain the election. Thats why Grossfeld made the comments that he did, he wants this to get as bloody as possible.

I don’t see a closed primary as an issue because: 1 – overall registered Republicans tend to be more conservative that registered independents, 2 – McCain was hoping to get many of his votes in the primary from moderate independents, 3 – TP people are reregistering as Republican’s to become PC’s, 4 – Many would reregister as Republicans if the primary was closed as they have no interst in the Democratic primary. It’s a nonissue.

Uh to the tea party folks, how many of your are independents and how many of you appreciate that the GOP wants to lock your conservative voices out of the primary?

Oh…and I agree massively about Hayworth. I’d flip if he was my Senator…flip…but I heard him the other day on the radio and he is working to appeal to moderates too. He sounded good…sounded reasonable. If I were J. McCain, I would be freaking out…and truthfully…he is…or he wouldn’t be campaigning at this level.

I have not seen any support for McCain at Tea Party events or on conservative forums.

Vote against McCain in protest, no. Voting against McCain on principles.

Well by throwing Jan Brewer under the bus, Kyl and McCain haven’t helped the Establishment team to get its act together!

This is interesting insofar as Brewer and McCain share a couple of key advisors!

To whom will they pledge their loyalty?

Us Tea Party people, and particularly those of us, like me, that are GOP PC’s, will make McRINO go away in August.

well of course he wants to say that. He still have next zero chance of winning. But he has a better chance against JD than he does against McCain. Unless the tea party people vote against McCain in protest…
