Seems there is a bit of a falling out in the GOP and I couldn’t be happier. Not one to revel in schaddenfreude I do find a bit of satisfaction in seeing the once lockstep GOP losing its cadence. Seems there is a group of about 14 Senators who have refused to endorse or publicly support Sen. John McCain for president.
That kind of party bickering has long been the Democrats territory, but it seems McCain is a polarizing agent for the Republicans. According to a post in the blog, The Hill:
Republican members who have not endorsed or publicly backed McCain include Sens. Chuck Hagel (Neb.) and Jeff Sessions (Ala.) and Reps. Jones, Peterson, John Doolittle (Calif.), Randy Forbes (Va.), Wayne Gilchrest (Md.), Virgil Goode (Va.), Tim Murphy (Pa.), Ron Paul (Texas), Ted Poe (Texas), Todd Tiahrt (Kan.), Dave Weldon (Fla.) and Frank Wolf (Va.).
Add to this the fact that McCain is snubbing the Texas Republican Convention and we might have the makings of big cracks in the Republican monolith. Time will tell, but it is good news for Democrats as the November election draws near.
