Thank you for your patience during construction of The Broad Side of the Barn
The
first order of business with the blogger call was for Senator McCain to
clear up questions that had popped up today about his support for Justice
Alito. Senator McCain stated that, as he has said many times before, he
strongly supported Justice Alito and would appoint judges in the future
in the model of Justice Alito and Justice Roberts. He addressed the importance
of the Florida primary and the endorsements he received from Governor Crist
and Senator Martinez. He was questioned about the tone of the race in the
last couple days and mentioned that he would be happy for people to judge
his and Governor Romney’s record side by side, and said that he was
aware of some of the robo-calls and negative attacks against him. He was
very excited that President Bush is addressing fighting back earmarks in
his State of the Union speech tonight. Also he addressed his ability to
unite the party and draw in support from Independents and Moderates in
the general election. The call was cut off abruptly, but it was an upbeat
informative call.
