McCain has a problem

Ok He has a alot of problems but a big one for him is how does he keep the republican base of right wing cultural conservatives while still appealing to moderates. Kevin Drum says he can’t.

McCain and the Republican Party obviously have big problems this year. McCain in particular is caught between a rock and a hard place: the core of his appeal is to crossover moderates, which means he can’t afford to play culture war games, but if he abandons culture issues entirely he’ll forfeit the support of a religious right base that’s already suspicious of him.

This should be a good year to be a Democrat
