McCain will attend CPAC

Not that what I wrote had anything to do with this, but I did suggest that McCain could begin to mend fences with conservatives by attending CPAC personally this year. In that post, which was mostly about McCain’s dishonest denial regarding his having said that he’s weaker on economics than other issues, I suggested three things McCain could do to start working on his heavily damaged right flank: Getting rid of Juan Hernandez, rejecting the NYT endorsement and attending CPAC. One out of three. It’s a start, I guess. McCain infamously skipped CPAC last year and was booed in absentia for it and rightly so. He sent the unmistakable signal last year that he did not need and did not want conservative support. He’ll face a hostile crowd at CPAC this year, but just showing up will say quite a bit. Not enough, but quite a bit.
So this year with the nomination and the election and thus among other things the war on the line, McCain will attend CPAC in person. Presumably he’ll address the attendees, who by then will have a clearer picture of where the race stands thanks to Super-Duper Tuesday on February 5. Presumably he’ll say something that’s worth listening to, but more importantly he’ll have to show with actions between now and then that he really doesn’t hate conservatives. Presumably he’ll draw out real contrasts between himself and the Democrats. Presumably he won’t find a way to give CPACers a finger in the eye. Presumably he knows that without the base he can’t win, and even if he could win he won’t be able to govern for long if he doesn’t have the party’s base with him. Hopefully he’s not kidding himself into thinking that Maverick will enjoy peace with the Democrats no matter how much he’s tempted to give them.
I’m sure it will be a fine speech, but as the saying goes actions speak louder than words. Actions now and words at CPAC won’t heal the rift between McCain and conservatives, but it might help.

And just like his promises to fix the borders later for your vote today, he will expect a vote on Super Tuesday for his implied promise to mend the fences at CPAC.

If he can’t confront conservatives, how could he ever confront the Jihadist?
sorry, couldn’t resist using the Dems boycotting Fox News point.

I’ll be at CPAC and will make an effort to hear whatever it is he has to say. How illuminating will it be???
PamM on January 30, 2008 at 2:52 PM
I hope he gets booed out off the stage and out of the friggin’ convention.
doubleplusundead on January 30, 2008 at 2:52 PM
Great. He shows up. He DID prove he didn’t need them for the nomination. He’s convinced that he can win in November without them (with the help of the MSM and “independents.”) I don’t expect so much reconciliation as I do “conquering hero” routine. Oh, he may play nice. But he’s going to be gloating like a sumbitch on the inside.

Attending CPAC does not a Conservative make.
I fully expect the walls to collapse when he walks in.

In your world, it’s dishonest to have a real change of heart? Good luck persuading anyone to any cause they don’t already support.
And by the way, this won’t be a back and forth and you won’t threadjack. Try it and you’re toast.
Bryan on January 30, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Exactly csdeven. The only reason McCain would show up to CPAC would be to walk up on stage look at each person in the eye and then hack a giant lungy in their general direction. Other then that there is no other reason for him to show up there.
Zetterson on January 30, 2008 at 2:59 PM
I was NOT referring to mitt flip-flop’s as you then describe them as a “change of heart” but the multiple blatant “Resume Inflations” if you will.
1. LifeLong Hunter(dishonest)
2. Had th endorsement of the NRA(dishonest)

McCain won’t have a problem speaking at CPAC. His stump speech in FL sounded for all the world like Reagan reincarnate. I just hope someone at CPAC will question him aggressively enough to demonstrate his dishonesty.
Bugler on January 30, 2008 at 3:02 PM
If McCain wants to impress the crowd, I say a short speech followed by a question time. An “Ask Mac Anything,” if you will.

McCain at CPAC?
How about the the next meeting of the Communist Party in America?
He would fit in better there.

And this post is about MCCAIN, in case you hadn’t noticed. Last warning before the ban hammer comes out.
Bryan on January 30, 2008 at 3:02 PM
McCain needs to find some kind of accommodation with at least the least stubborn of the conservatives in the party. Chances are that won’t happen until a big win on Super Tuesday (if he gets a big win on Super Tuesday).

EJDolbow on January 30, 2008 at 3:03 PM
Bryan,
After yesterdays results in FL, I’m beginning to wonder if the criticisms of Mitt (et al) by the Fredheads about being RINO’s, and many of us insisting that the lesser of two evils is better than HilObamaWards, is coming home to roost. I cannot believe, just as the Fredheads could not believe, that the party had gone this far away from conservative principles.
This would never change my mind about how I judged Fred, but it makes me look at McCain as a lesser of evils when compared to any dem. My main issues are the justices and the military. Both issues that I know the dems would do worse on.
The stickler is the borders. There is no doubt that the border issue is mavericks signature issue to poke the base in the eye over. He will make the problem worse by making the process so complicated that it ill be unworkable. The dems in congress WILL NOT secure the border first and will push through a bill that is akin to amnesty. AND McCain WILL sign it.
So, before I can support McCain, as you pointed out, I have to be convinced that his amnesty policy will be balanced out by his tough stance on the war and a promise to appoint constructionist justices. If he can’t do that, I doubt I will cast a presidential vote in November.
csdeven on January 30, 2008 at 3:08 PM
McCain at CPAC is kinda like Ted Nugent showing up at a PETA convention. Hope he remembers to wear his flame resistant underwear that day.
Hollowpoint on January 30, 2008 at 3:09 PM
I’m really hoping that McCain’s appearance at CPAC might bring some of the conservatives around. You never know with McCain…he might just surprise.
I agree with you Bryan on getting rid of Hernadez…he’s a huge thorn in the campaign. But, as much as I despise the NY Times, would it really be wise of McCain to publically reject the endorsement?
All that would do is cost McCain votes amongst moderates and so-called “McCain Democrats”. Just enough votes perhaps to give, say, Hillary the edge.

I’m not sure he’s capable of keeping his temper in check. Which is another really big reason he should be disqualified or POTUS.

Again with the Goldwater quotes!
redstate: “Let’s grow up, conservatives! If we want to take this party back, and I think we can someday, let’s get to work.” – Barry Goldwater, encouraging his supporters to work for Nixon in 1960.
How’d that work out, Barry? Not very freaking well….
“Big government” lover, protoRINO and perpetually dishonest Richard Nixon guaranteed a Republican minority for over twenty years,and still haunts our dreams to this day..
You’d better find another, more appropriate Goldwater quote, such as “that makes about as much sense as teats on a boarhog” or one of my favorites from LBJ, which was quoted to me by a secret service agent when I was a gofer at KLBJ back in ‘71:
“Boys, I may not know much, but I sure know the difference between chickenshit and chicken salad”.
Guess which type of chicken dish McCain represents?
TexasJew on January 30, 2008 at 3:12 PM
The NYT endorsement is definitely several orders of magnitude less problematic than Hernandez. There really is no good reason to keep him around unless McCain agrees with him. And if he does, he ought not be elected.
Bryan on January 30, 2008 at 3:14 PM
I agree completely.

mrfixit on January 30, 2008 at 3:16 PM
Well said csdeven but if you don’t know him by now (his stance on immigration) you will when he signs that bill you mention. I personally will not vote for McCain. at all. Let the Dems reap the destruction a liberal will cause for 4 years. We don’t need a RINO to represent the GOP.

Go Mitt, from an X Fredhead

He can begin by mending the fences on the Southern border.
amerpundit on January 30, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Fixed that.. and here’s the point. We have that situation now with W, and he’s wanting to PUSH IT AGAIN in 08′. So, as much as I like your analysis, there is alot more that makes me think CPAC people will tar/feather him before he gets off the stage. McCain is worse than W, because we know, in advance, he’s going to sell us (GOP) out like he’s done for the past years, but is it worse than a Donk… haven’t come to that conclusion yet.

A new variation on McCains name: John Wellington McWimpy
csdeven on January 30, 2008 at 3:18 PM
I’ll give credit where it’s due.
It’s a gutsy, stand-up guy move. He knows he’ll be in for some chop.
I want to believe in the man and like him. This is a start.
But, he’ll have to do everything you outlined and more for me to truly support him.
As it stands now, if he’s the guy in November, I’ll be holding my nose. I guess since he’ll have my vote, that’s all he really needs.
But not being a candidate whose domestic politics I loathe would be nice.
Hawkins1701 on January 30, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Rumor is that Fred will endorse McCain soon.
bnelson44 on January 30, 2008 at 3:19 PM
Don’t forget that minor 1st Amendment issue created by campaign finance reform. I assume you saw the article in headlines regarding the free speech group who needs to get permission from politicians in order to criticize politicians.

Rudy’s endorsed McCain, too. I’m going with Mitt, though.
amerpundit on January 30, 2008 at 3:20 PM
Someone did tell McCain that it’s a gathering of Conservatives, right??
ConBlog_NH on January 30, 2008 at 3:21 PM
McCain may surprise many of the folks in this audience that are clearly not on his bandwaggon. You will have admit, he is a survivor and he knows how to endure and how to prevail.
With that said, what the folks, like me, who supported other candidates-Rudy-, need to do to look out for what is best for the country. McCain is a politician and he knows that he will need legislative support to get things passed and he is not so stupid to believe that the left wing Dems will ssupport him when he is president.
We need to put aside personal feelings and get McCain to commit to
1. Building the fence and getting something like the Borderstat program that Rudy was speaking of that will give us objective numbers about whether the illegal traffic has substantively stopped.
2. On McCain-Feingold, a committment not to fight in the Supreme Court as it gets totally outlawed which I am confident it will be.
3. On the economy, a committment to push the kind of tax cut that Rudy was pushing…BIG
4. On the battle with the Islamists, a no nonsense committment to increase the size of our armed forces and to confront the Saudis and their buddies on their support for Islamists and a committment to STOP Iran from getting the bomb, to get the surrendercrats our of the State Department and our of the intelligence services.
Other areas as well. The key is that we want actions that will support conservative governance and so McCain needs to know where he can find support and that is with us…provided he is with us.
georgealbert on January 30, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Gah! Rudy AND Fred? I’m 0 for 2 on political trustworthiness.
a capella on January 30, 2008 at 3:23 PM
hey, maybe while he’s at CPAC, someone there will ask him the wrong question, and then the famous McNitro temper will give him his Dean moment…..

mrfixit on January 30, 2008 at 3:23 PM
Shirley you jest!
No, I believe that Fred has been eyeing VP with McCain since this race began. It is a sad
dayyears to come in America I fear.abinitioadinfinitum on January 30, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Yes, that is a huge problem for conservatives, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem for a majority of the GOP primary voters. Probably because those rules were designed to attack Washington politics skewering both dems and reps who abuse the system. Which is an issue that push people toward independent thinking as the alternative to the entrenched arrogant Washington insider.
csdeven on January 30, 2008 at 3:29 PM
But, you see, that’s the issue for me. My problem with Johnny Mac isn’t personal. It’s ideological and it is for a lot of people.
I have absolutely no faith that he will be able to carry the mantle of conservatism because, to date, he still hasn’t done it.
ConBlog_NH on January 30, 2008 at 3:32 PM
I’m not convinced that McCain would be better on judges. His ultra-willingness to include/consult/ultimately agree with Democrats, coupled with the near super-majority the Dems will surely have in the Senate lead me to a different conclusion. The days of Scalia/Alito/Roberts style judges are gone (for a long while). Welcome back Kennedy/Souter.
edgehead on January 30, 2008 at 3:33 PM
Stir the sh!t much?
I assume you have a link to this “rumor” laying around somewhere.
ChrisM on January 30, 2008 at 3:37 PM
1) How are we going to get McCain to commit to border security first when his entire appeal as a maverick depends on this kind of bill passing? If he caves on it now, he looks like a Washington insider.
2) Again, these bills define him as the maverick, he cannot back out on them now.
3) Maybe. I am encouraged that he will cut taxes as long as the spending is curtailed also. The problem is that the two are not mutually exclusive. Cutting taxes is always a good thing irrespective of the spending. I think his vote against the Bush tax cuts was just more maverick behavior against the GOP base. He uses the spending cuts as cover for his no votes.
4) No problem here. BUT will Mitt do any less? No, Mitt will do exactly what McCain will do. With McCain’s military history in play, the emotional reaction is deeper.
csdeven on January 30, 2008 at 3:38 PM
I’m sure he would not nominate a Ginsberg type where as HillObama would for sure. I believe a 50/50 chance with a Kennedy is much better than 100% activist liberal justices like Ginsberg.
csdeven on January 30, 2008 at 3:41 PM
I’m hearing it mostly verbally, but Dr. Hanson mentioned it this morning as well:
Seek out more piling-on with Republican-establishment endorsements, which is a real likelihood given the human propensity to align with a perceived winner. Expect Thompson to fall in line soon.
bnelson44 on January 30, 2008 at 3:41 PM
Wha’ happened to my last comment? *no see*
Thompson endorsed McCain in 2000…so it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if he endorsed him now.

Nice, but bad analogy. Ted Nugent would EAT the PETAnuts, wipe his blood stained mouth with his sleeve and smile.
CPAC this year, fortunately, is unavoidable for him if he is to have any hope of taking back vote of true conservatives.
shick on January 30, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Don’t get me wrong, I expect Fred will endorse McCain at some point, but I think it will be after he has the nomination locked up. For him it’s a win-win, he’s already said he would support his party’s nominee.

darwin on January 30, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Mccains view of conservatism has been tempered by his lifelong career in Washington DC ,where compromise is a matter of survival. I don’t believe he hates conservatives or anyone else.

csdeven on January 30, 2008 at 4:03 PM
I think that McCain has one domestic position that is strong enough to sway conservatives.
Whether right or wrong (wrong IMHO)the progressives have managed to make a fetish of Universal Health care. The peepul are crying out for health-care reform and baby wants that bottle NOW!
The plans being proposed by Obama and Clinton are a one way ticket to Socialized Medicine. McCain’s proposals are free-market based and if McCain is the nominee they can be presented as the only way to counter the people voting themselves a massive and irreversible expansion of the nanny state.
That being said, I’m still a Romney supporter and will continue to fight to see McCain defeated even here in Arizona.
Go Mitt!!
Deety on January 30, 2008 at 4:04 PM
McCain will have no where to go for support after he gets the Repub nomination but to the Repub base. The conservatives are the core of the Repub base. We need to make ourselves his partners in the legislature so that he is 100% sure that if he wants to get anything done, he will need to address the conservative base to get it done.
McCain knows that the Dems and lefties will dump him like a hot potato when he gets the nomination and he knows that he has no choice but to make deals with the conservative base if he wants some support in Congress and on the airwaves.
All I am saying is that we need to make him an offer he can’t refuse; e.g. he is either with us or he has no core constinuency in the Congress; and then use that leverage to get as much as we can.
We need to be smart and adults and manage this to our advantage. Driving off a cliff and crying about does not help our causes.
georgealbert on January 30, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Ya know, I personally don’t care if Jesus Himself endorses McCain. I. Will. Not. EVER. Vote. For. Him.
It does not matter what he SAYS now. Its what he HAS DONE for years.
Janna on January 30, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Unless you believe that a brokered convention will lead to an anti-McCain revolt, McCain pretty much has it locked up already. Endorsements from Rudy or Fred don’t change that.
Hollowpoint on January 30, 2008 at 4:06 PM
I tend to agree with you but the difference this time is the Dems will have such a majority that they won’t even pretend to play nice. They WILL use their nuclear option and deny any but the most “progressive” judges. And Johnny Mac will play their game. He always has.
edgehead on January 30, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Shouldn’t he be appearing at YearlyKos instead? Those are his constituents.
p0s3r on January 30, 2008 at 4:10 PM
That is entirely possible. McCain will not get a second term, so he’s a lame duck right out of the chute and can do whatever he wants.

We have a long election year ahead of us. And a critical veep selection before too long.

Looking at the numbers, I’m not convinced that a brokered convention is out of the question, but it’s still a long shot.

Surely he knows the power of Hot Air to influence the conservative base?? ;-)
TX Mom on January 30, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Romney had his “Mormon speech”
and now McCain will have his “Conservative speech”
Johnny boy knows he will certainly have their attention when he steps to the podium. It will sort of define how each side views the other for the following 10 months.. if not longer.
Circle your calendars….
Always Right on January 30, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Presumably, he’ll have that “deer-in-the-headlights” or “Where am I?” expression just like the image in your thumbnail.
CliffHanger on January 30, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Yes sir you heard correctly. I’m so sick of this crap.
I’m hoping it will come out in the debate. But, since it’s on CNN we won’t be getting any hardball immigration questions for Johnnie Mac.
I thought he would lose it during his speech last night when everyone kept cheering while he tried to speak. It would have been great if he said “STFU, chickens—s! I’m trying to talk!”
NTWR on January 30, 2008 at 4:38 PM
What do you mean other side? Did he endorse McCain? if so who is suprised, he endorsed Rudy based on the war long long ago, so no suprise that he would follow Rudy’s lead and throw behing McCain based on the War and “electability” or “anybody buy hilary” reasoning. If he didn’t endorese McCain then what do you mean?
Just turned it on and am waiting . . .
infidel2 on January 30, 2008 at 4:39 PM
I live across the river in Minneapolis. Twin Cities Hot Air blog party?
McCain probably won’t have enough delegates after Super Tuesday to win outright, but he’ll be so far ahead that I’m not sure there’d be any point in Romney to continue.
A brokered convention would almost destroy the Republican party’s chances in November- it would leave the winner only 2 months to campaign and build an organization, not to mention the discontent that would be sown.
Don’t get me wrong- the way things have gone, a little discontent and debate over the future of the party would probably be a good thing, and I’m all for a brokered convention. I just doubt that the powers that be will let it come to that.
Hollowpoint on January 30, 2008 at 4:39 PM
The most important question that surrounds the “McCain @ CPAC” story has to be:
Will the daughter be there?
JVelez on January 30, 2008 at 4:40 PM
What I want to see is whether the CPAC attendees accept his probable pandering, grab their ankles and applaud the man. If that happens, then the conservative movement has no credibility or influence. It will be like the black man/woman’s allegiance to Democrats. The conservatives at CPAC will have grabbed their ankles merely to retain access.
Of course, I am still rooting for Mitt.

Thanks, having a job/working for the man (hey I’m thankful for the man) keeps me from staying on top of things. I need to find a way to make a fortune at blogging like Allah and Bryan . . . then I might be able to get an iphone

No I won’t.
If I’m there I’ll let you know.
