      Competing Ambitions Split Camp McCain

      John McCain inspires an uncommon degree of loyalty among the advisers and strategists who've served on his campaigns. But they are less charitable toward each other, writes Adam Nagourney in the New York Times . McCain's 2008 campaign is riven by longstanding feuds and conflicting spheres of influence—a problem compounded by the Arizona senator's reluctance to fire people or make choices among competing players.

      McCain Camp 'Winces,' Waits for Powell Defection

      John McCain’s team is holding its breath for the “expected” endorsement of Barack Obama by the ever-popular Colin Powell, Robert Novak writes in a Washington Post tour of the “Obamacon” movement. Such Republicans-turned-blue are less energized by Obama's candidacy than they are in agreement with one of their number who called the GOP “a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders.” More »

      Dowd to GOP: The Elitism Crap Won't Work

      The Republicans have been unrelenting in their attempts to paint Barack Obama as an elitist—pretty rich stuff, writes Times columnist Maureen Dowd, coming from a party led by a Connecticut-born "Richie Rich" whose daddy has bailed out his snide self time and again. The cosseted conservatives' "hypocritical comedy" might have worked in the past, but not this time, Dowd warns. More »

      How America Fell for Peggy Noonan

      Peggy Noonan begged Women's Wear Daily to can its feature article on her, saying she "winced at things I'd said." But Jacob Bernstein's piece ran, revealing how the anti-Clinton, pro-Reagan pundit turned on President Bush and won a huge crossover audience with her Wall Street Journal column. "She's come face-to-face with what happened to the Republican party," lefty pundit William Greider said. "I think she's terrific." More »

      GOP Must Regroup With Balance, Relevance

      Many Republicans think the party is on a losing streak because it’s gotten too “squishy,” but that’s a dangerous mistake to make, a former aide to Tom DeLay writes on Politico. John Feehery, who pleads guilty to being a “squish” (as "right-wing wackos" deride GOP moderates), says voters "want us to be more relevant to their lives and to do better at the job of governing."

      Giuliani Will Stump for GOP, for a Price

      Rudy Giuliani has offered to appear at fundraisers for cash-strapped Republican candidates but with strings attached, the New York Times reports. The former New York mayor wants a cut of the proceeds to go towards paying off his presidential campaign's $3.6-million debt. The debt includes a $500,000 personal loan from Giuliani, who is worth an estimated $30 million. More »

      Quietly, McCain Makes Overtures to Evangelicals

      John McCain faces a challenge uncommon among GOP presidential candidates: rallying evangelical Christians to vote for him. As the New York Times reports, the McCain campaign is holding meetings with evangelical leaders and blasting them with emails, but many are still taking a wait-and-see approach. And McCain's lack of rapport with religious conservatives was exacerbated by his recent rejection of  endorsements of the Rev. John Hagee and the Rev. Rod Parsley. More »

      McCain Shifting Campaign Into General Election Mode

      John McCain plans to keep a decentralized campaign structure heading into the general election, with 10 regional managers who will make on-the-ground decisions, the Washington Post reports. The unusual move is part of McCain's efforts to turn his campaign team—one that often flew by the seat of its pants out of necessity and a lack of funds during primary season—into a formidable force for the general election.
