With the race to succeed him reaching a critical juncture, President Bush this morning began rallying the Republican base around its presumptive nominee, John McCain, and in the process tried to define his own legacy for the general election campaign to come. In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, Bush offered an implicit endorsement of McCain's bona fides as a true conservative in the face of deep skepticism on the right. Although he did not mention McCain by name, the president said whoever ends up being the Republican nominee will represent conservative values. Keep reading. Read more about the events yesterday at the CPAC conference.
Poster Comment: McInSane was loyal to the party (not necessarily the country), he paid his dues, and it's his turn (to lose). This endorsement is the kiss of death.

Bush ought to be 100% behind McCain, Mad Mac outdoes Bush on every single issue. Somebody here said that McCain is Bush on steroids - I'd say that McCain is more like a senile Bush on uppers and acid. Not that an endorsement from somebody with a 20% approval rating is much help, but it might win over the anti-Mac Bushbots who stupidly hang on every word of their Dear Leader while snubbing a guy who stands for the same damn policies.
