McCain Fires Back

On a blogger conference call just now, McCain fired the first shot in what is sure to be a series of ongoing frontal assaults on Mitt Romney. According to someone on the call, in response to a question about Romney’s immigration position, McCain said he’d “wait a couple of weeks and see if the winds change and Mitt comes back around” to his side, and, he said, musing about why Romney seems so touchy on the issue, “Maybe Mitt should get out his small varmint gun and chase those Guatemalans off his yard.”
