Republican 08 campaigner McCain hits Iowa
Republican Senator John McCain does a whirlwind tour of Iowa on Thursday, in an attempt to round up some support for a 2008 presidental run.
McCain, considered by many conservatives to be a prime example of a RINO (Republican In Name Only), is attempting to shore up relations with the Pubbie base. He recently visited Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, and today in Iowa he'll be meeting with Christian activists and other party faithful.
By most accounts, McCain has a long way to go to win conservative support, and by hitting places like Liberty, he's risking his moderate appeal as well.
The next 18 months will be interesting to watch as the man from Arizona attempts to straddle both sides of the line.
And we'll probably be hearing a lot more about ethanol fuel as the caucuses get closer and closer. Nothing like a campaign to help fund the search for more ways to produce hot air.
