VA Reps. Wolf, Forbes and Goode Not Backing McCain?
This story in The Hill reports that there’s a group of 14 GOP Senators and Representatives that have refused to endorse Sen. McCain’s presidential ambitions. When I first saw the headline, I was imagining that it consisted mostly of Republican reps in otherwise Democratic districts that didn’t want to antagonize their constituency. But then I looked at the list:
Republican members who have not endorsed or publicly backed McCain include Sens. Chuck Hagel (Neb.) and Jeff Sessions (Ala.) and Reps. Jones, Peterson, John Doolittle (Calif.), Randy Forbes (Va.), Wayne Gilchrest (Md.), Virgil Goode (Va.), Tim Murphy (Pa.), Ron Paul (Texas), Ted Poe (Texas), Todd Tiahrt (Kan.), Dave Weldon (Fla.) and Frank Wolf (Va.).
The story doesn’t explain Virgil Goode’s lack of support, but I can only imagine that it has something to do with McCain not calling for the deportation of every Muslim in the country. Wonder what McCain did to Wolf and Forbes, though.
