McCain Campaign just said: Democrats should "take their time -- don't rush." (we need the money)

McCain content to let Democrats keep fighting

(quotes and highlights from the article.....)

Republican John McCain's presidential campaign is content to let Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fight on.

The prospect for an even longer Democratic battle resulted from Clinton's defeat of Obama in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, meaning the contest is likely to last at least another two weeks until May 6, when North Carolina and Indiana vote.

As top McCain adviser Mark Salter said, Democrats should "take their time -- don't rush."

Republican strategists believe McCain has benefited from having won his party's nomination in March, giving him time to raise much-needed cash and lay the groundwork for his general election campaign, even though the Democratic battle has dominated U.S. headlines.

"During this period the Democrat interest groups have not been able to focus on McCain," said Republican strategist Scott Reed. "They're still focused on struggling with their internal fight."

McCain himself sounded unsure as to whether the long Democratic fight has helped or hurt him, but in talking to reporters on Tuesday, he made clear he has been watching the show closely.

"In fact I saw one of the cable shows last night -- I don't know why I watch!

"I have never stated whether I wanted this election to stretch out or not. That's up to Democratic Party voters, and I have nothing to do with it."



hmmmmmmmmmm..... I wondering what the rest of them are saying.....

John McCain's words.... are their words... don't ever forget.
