Asked about the Reagan Coalition says the middle class doesn't
feel part of this and then recites core Republican themes -- Second
Amendment, pro-life values, marriage, spending restraint, etc. Says
need to make "just as sure we're helping people like single moms
working two jobs." McCain says GOP abandoned principles --
spending, environmnetalism ( those Independents vote in Michigan!),
etc. The debate has a staid quality without many follow ups or
challenges so there is not much excitement.
