“‘I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama,’ said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR’s ‘All Things Considered.’ ‘I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign.'” McCain advisor (and former Dem) Mark McKinnon says he’ll step down if Obama wins the Democratic nomination. “‘I met Barack Obama, I read his book, I like him a great deal,’ said McKinnon. ‘I disagree with him on very fundamental issues. But I think, as I said, I think it would a great race for the country.'”
One thought on “McKinnon to stand down.”

I am a life long Democrat—I even worked in teh Carter White House. I’ve supported Democrats forever, and was a huge supporter of Bill Clinton.
I will support the Democratic Party’s nominee, provided that:
1. The Super Delegates do not reverse the winner of a majority of the elected delegates; and
2. The Democratic Convention does not seat the Michigan and Florida delegates elected in the unsupported January primaries. Instead, the DNC should advise MI and FL that their delegates will be seated only if they are selected by a caucus or primary sanctioned by the DNC, and in which both remaining Dem candidates are on the ballot and are permitted to campaign.
IN THE EVENT that the above two conditions are not met—i.e., Hillary gets the nomination notwithstanding democratic principals and following rules, then this would be more of the chicanery, parsing, and slick behavior that I uncomfortably defended for 8 years of Bill and will not defend for Hillary.
Instead, in the event that Hillary wins a technical victory on either of those points, then I will contribute to John McCain and will leave my business and travel at my own expense to work for his campaign.
I don’t like it, but I suspect that I am not alone. I believe I am simply representative of many other Dems who won’t support Hillary if she is so slick as to win on a technicality.
Given that polls show that 47% of American voters “Hate” Hillary (I am NOT among them), by losing me and others of my cohort, there is no way Hillary will get a majority of the vote.
Hillary beware.
