Michigan GOP quietly sidelining McCain?
A move by the Michigan Republican Party to bar Democrats and Independents from that state's primary is being read by some tea leaf readers as a subtle move to knee-cap would-be GOP nominee John McCain. The thinking goes, McCain needs indies and disaffected Dems to win the primary, because he lacks the strength with hard-core, coservative Republicans. McCain is, at this point, the GOP favorite to win the nomination, the strongest challenger to Hillary Clinton should she win the Democratic nomination, he still gets a regular massage from the mainstream media, and polls very well with the vaunted "independents," but he has serious base problems. And serious GOP insider problems. Removing independents and Dems from his Michigan plate could actually hurt him.
