McCain adviser to quit if they face Obama

Mark McKinnon, adviser to Senator John McCain, has stated to NPR, he would leave the campaign should they face Senator Obama. This says a great deal about the campaigns of McCain and Obama. As Senator Obama pointed out the obvious recently, stating that John McCain has "traded his principles for his party's nomination" . I mentioned yesterday, that the "straight talk express has taken a detour", and apparently Mark McKinnon also sees this. McKinnon, who had a hand in Pres. Bush's campaigns in 2000 and 2004,sees a a contest of old policies that constantly been failures and new ideas to possibly get our country back on track. Many Progressive Democrats see electing John McCain as nothing more than a third term for George W. Bush. I know I would not have said that about Senator McCain 4 years ago. Granted, politics do require compromise, but to what end? Mark McKinnon apparently recognizes that advising a President hopeful who has a closet full of "I was against it before I was for it" against a camapaign that has youth, hope, integrity, and an arsenal of a diverse base to be a losing cause. I applaud McKinnon's honesty, and foresight to the McCain campaign for what it is.
