Mark McKinnon McCain's Adviser Won't Fight Obama
McCain Adviser Won't Fight Obama
ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: A top adviser to John McCain said Wednesday that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election.
"I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."
McKinnon, who was a Democrat before serving as President Bush's ad maker in 2000 and 2004, said that he plans to be behind McCain "100 percent" no matter who the Democratic nominee is.
He explained, however, that if the Democrats nominate Obama, he will be supporting McCain "from the sidelines."
While saying that he does not agree with Obama on every issue, McKinnon gushed about the Illinois Democrat.
"I met Barack Obama, I read his book, I like him a great deal," said McKinnon. "I disagree with him on very fundamental issues. But I think, as I said, I think it would a great race for the country."
Wild Thing's comment........
This Obama-idolatry is getting ridiculous. He supports the candidate, but not the campaign?? Weird! OH but wait I keep forgetting, Obama is the Messiah, after all. More like the anti-Christ imo.
Does this mean that McNut's top advisor is NOT a conservative??? You oknow John like you are NOT a Conservative?? Johnnie, tell me it isn't so!! Tell me it isn't so!!!
No pity here from me for McCain, with his Juan Hernandez and this guy he surrounds himself by what he is more comfortable with ...............democrats and those not putting America first.
Political strategist Mark McKinnon is best known for his switch from working with Democratic candidates to Republican George W. Bush.
He is a lifelong Democrat who is now working for McCain and is usually seen in the background wearing a creepy hat.
In 1997, McKinnon met then Gov. Bush at dinner and claims he changed his mind about him. He says that he liked him and that's why he decided to cross-parties and work for his gubernatorial reelection campaign.
He was one of only a few top Bush staff that had access to the Bush debate prep tapes that somehow ended up being sent to the Gore campaign.

This guy is awful strange.
He flip flops more than the dummycraps themselves.
He goes wherever the money is and whichever way the wind blows.
He doesn't really care about the candidates--he's in for the money.

He probably doesn't want to be labeled a Racist. If Obama is the candidate, no matter what you say against him or his weaknesses, you're going to be labeled a Racist. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Al Sharpton take an up front roll in his campaign.

Why thank you GOP headquarters!!! The squealing bastards at RNC Hq are squirming because McCain hasn't got it in the bag yet, conservatives will bail on the Manchurian Candidate over his uber-left association with the common enemy today just as he has in the past. Even his campaign will not stand up to them in the debate due to fear of offending that commie bastard Obama. Proof that McVain will burn his own and give the opposition a pass. You are known by the company you keep John. What a smarmy ratbastard.

This might give you a different perspective about John McCain. The problem with McCain is, like Waxman,...........................he is what he is, a rat! Bwahahahaha!!!!

Lynn yes he sure can't make up his mind.
What gets me is how McCain surrounds himself with so many from the left. Very concerning especially if he wants to show us he will listen to conservatives at all.

Bob yes that might happen. Sharpton could be in charge of any hint at a rascist comment and then he would strike out at the person. sheesh

John yes, he sure does surround himself with a lot of lefties. I guess he is much more comfortable with them. YUK!

Jack yes, and the RNC has a lot of nerve to keep throwing us rino's I am sick of it and have had it.
That rat makes me feel physically the same way I feel when I look at Obama. Not because he is a black man but to me he is sickening to look at. Like a weasel or now better yet that rat you showed us in that video.

Chrissie, I heard today that Sharpton is already got something in the works if Obama doesn't get the nomination.

Bob, oh wow. I wonder if it was he was talking about on Hannity and Colmes show tonight. Something about Mich. and Florida and what he plans to do about it.
