>>None other than Gary Bauer just made the quintessential case, far better than anyone else could, for why each one of you should vote for John McCain. Here it is guys. Gary, you da man:

Bauer to McCain: Apologize!


Finally, John McCain has gone too far in his attacks on the Christian Right even for Gary Bauer. The McCain camp has constantly pointed to Bauer for cover as the Arizona maverick has sought to distance himself from the Religious Right. Bauer even stood on the stage with McCain when he delivered his harsh rebuke of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell Monday morning in Virginia Beach. Well, now Bauer has had enough.

In a sharply-worded statement, Bauer writes:

"As a Reagan Republican and a man of faith who has endorsed Senator John McCain's candidacy for President of the United States, I must in the strongest possible terms repudiate Senator McCain's unwarranted, ill-advised and divisive attacks on certain leaders."

Bauer demands that McCain retract his recent attacks on the Christian Right, including his comparison of Robertson and Falwell with Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan and his "evil influence" comments about Robertson and Falwell in today's papers. Bauer also wants the senator to apologize to the two - don't hold your breath.

Bauer's rebuke is more bad news for a McCain campaign that is beginning to look very frayed around the edges, and risks entering full meltdown mode if the senator loses New York next Tuesday. The Bauer-McCain marriage was a classic instance of politics making strange bedfellows. Now it looks like Bauer may be getting right back out of bed.
