Ex aide to McCain gives support to Kerry

[henslee]

WASHINGTON - A man who until last week was one of Sen. John McCain's top aides is endorsing John Kerry for president, asserting that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have "waged an unprecedentedly cynical and divisive campaign."

Led by Kerry, Democrats now can seize the opportunity to reach out to disaffected moderate Republicans and independents to build "a new political coalition of national unity," Marshall Wittmann writes in the upcoming edition of Blueprint Magazine, published by the Democratic Leadership Council.

"I am an independent McCainiac who hopes to revive the Bull Moose tradition of Theodore Roosevelt, and I support the Kerry-Edwards agenda," Wittmann writes.

2. Why is McCain such a wuss?

Rove must have the goods on John. There is no other good explanation for how he has gone out of his way to help Bush*.

4. The part that stands out to me

is that "he was a top aide for McCain until last week."

I'd love to know the real reasons for McCain's being the centerpiece for the coWard's campaign.
