Bill Bennett: McCain Should Embrace Coburn
Conservative icon Bill Bennett said tonight on CNN's Florida primary election coverage that Senator John McCain needs to build his conservative credentials and one way he can do that is by embracing Senator Tom Coburn and touting Coburn as a possible vice presidential running mate.
Bennett's comments came during a four-way conversation following McCain's Florida win and speculation that Rudy Giuliani will withdraw and endorse McCain. One analyst said some conservatives are likely to react negatively to that since Giuliani "is no conservative." Bennett then offered his thoughts on the Coburn connection; he added that McCain should take Coburn on the campaign trail with him.
Coburn recently endorsed McCain, much to the surprise (and consternation) of some.
