If just some of this is true, it’s bad news for McCain.

Doc, I have lived in AZ for forty years. All of this is true, much of the earlier part from his own book, and the later part from articles in local papers.Why do you think I told Steve Gillmor that many old time Arizona Republicans don’t want McCain to be President?
