Mark McKinnon, the Austin political consultant who oversaw the advertising for President Bush in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns, has committed to help Sen. John McCain in a second presidential bid.
McKinnon - one of the president's closest friends and confidants and a frequent mountain biking companion - met with the Arizona Republican over lunch this spring in the Senate dining room to discuss his support, said a GOP activist familiar with the meeting.
I'd hate to think that Bush believes McCain is the GOP's greatest hope in 2008. McKinnon is a talented media guy, but I don't think even he can undo the damage McCain has done with conservatives. You can run all the patriotic biographical spots you want, but conservatives will remember McCain siding with the Dems every chance he got.
Just as John Kerry didn't deserve the presidency just because he was a Vietnam veteran, neither does McCain.
