Re: McCain and the Right

His standing is probably not going to improve much after this video in which he rips the Club for Growth for going after fellow Republicans, arguing that there would be a Republican Senate today if it weren't for the group's attacks on Lincoln Chafee. "I'm not sure what the Club For Growth and I have really in common," he concludes. The feeling is clearly mutual.

UPDATE: Some more McCain videos here and here, these from campaign stops in which he lashes out at pork barrel spending. This is another example of the multi-headed monster that is the McCain campaign. He makes a series of appearances vowing a war on spending, then all of it gets overshadowed by some offhand comments he makes attacking a group that has done as more than any other to put true limited government warriors such as Jeff Flake in power. Dave Weigel also has more.
