McCain continues to defy political convention
Candidate attacks leaders of Christian right
By Mary Anne Gstrom and
Jim Puzzanghera
Knight-Ridder Tribune
With days to go before the
March 7 "national primary,"
John McCain's insurgent cam-
paign continues to defy political
convention.
On Monday, he unleashed a
scathing attack on leaders of the
Christian right in their own
backyard of Virginia, calling
them "agents of intolerance."
"When you're behind, you
take risks/' said Jack Pitney,
associate professor of govern-
ment at Claremont-McKenna
College.
In the Virginia speech,
McCain linked leaders of the
religious right, Pat Robertson
and Jerry Falwell, to controver-
sial African-American leaders
Rev. Al Sharpton and Louis
Farrakhan, He is apparently
hoping to energize moderate
Republicans in California and
Catholic voters in New York,
Ohio and New England —
areas where the Christian right
has less support. McCain's strat-
egy is to show that he can strad-
dle the Republican spectrum,
while painting Bush an inflexi-
ble conservative aligned with
religious right lead-
California, and goes on to win in
two other winner-take-all mega-
states — his home state of
Texas "and Florida, where he's
been far ahead in the polls and
his brother, Jeb, is governor —
he will get 35 percent of the del-
egates he needs to

ers, aides said. Cam paion win the nomination.
Add in the approxi-
mately 90 delegates he
already has won, and
Bush is nearly half way
to his goal, with 45
percent of the dele-
gates needed.
Bush is also running strong
throughout the south and in
Ohio and Colorado, according
to recent polls there.
McCain is in a dead heat with
Bush in New York, which has
the second largest haul of dele-
gates, with 101. But New York
does not award all its delegates
to the winner of the primary. A
win there doesn't net McCain all
of the state's 101 delegates, but
probably at best 60 percent of
them.
California is the biggest haul
of delegates in the presidential
primaries — 162 of the 1,034
needed to win the Republican
nomination, or 16 percent.
Compounding the significance
is the fact that California is a
winner-take-all state — the
winner of California's
Republican primary gets all the
delegates. Other states, and
even the Democrats in
California, allocate the delegates
on a proportional basis based on
the votes in each of the state's
congressional districts, allowing
te loser of the primary to still
win delegates.
VVithout California, McCain
In the cold calculus
of delegates,
McCain has little
chance to win the p ° A- 1 r- s
delegates needed " ^ ',.v'
for the nomination 2 O O
if he does not win
California.
"John McCain would have to
have a rip-roaring day in every
other state except California in
order to stay in the game," said
political analyst Stuart
Rothenberg. "If McCain loses
(California) he'd really have to
be pulling to an inside straight
to win."
As is the case in the fall, it's
not how many states you win,
but which ones. If Bush wins

"It would be difficult, but
within the realm of possibility,"
said political scientist Pitney.
"Bush is ahead (in the South),
but it would be a mistake to
count Mccain completely out in
the South because his record as a
military hero and his generally
conservative positions on most
issues would be appealing,"
Pitney said. Still, those factors
were present in South Carolina,
where Bush handily beat
McCain.
McCain told reporters riding
on his bus in Sacramento last
Friday, his predicament is "like
San Juan Hill," referring to the
desperate charge in the Spanish-
American war led by his hero
Teddy Roosevelt. McCain
arrived last night in the Central
Valley town of Redding, the
start of a two-and-a-half day trip
down the Republican-dominat-
ed spine of California.
Part of McCain's message is
that only he has the broad
appeal to beat likely Democratic
nominee Vice President Al Gore
in California in the fall.
"The history is (Republican)
Dan Lungren lost (the gover-
nor's race) by 20 points, Bob
Dole, lost by 13 points in 1996,
and I ran the Dole campaign,"
said McCain California strate-
gist KenKhachigian. "We have
got to find a way to attract other
voters. Republicans are only 35
percent of the state. We can't do
it by engaging ih the same
strategies as the past....McCain
wants to open a dialogue among
disparate factions."
A Field Poll released Monday
found that McCain is immense-
ly popular among Californians
as a whole, but has not been able
to find much support among
m
to make up at least 40 percent of
the Republican electorate.
