And in the need for the re-write comes the problem, since it seems Republican Party activists are looking to stop McCainified "views on global warming, immigration, stem cell research and campaign finance from becoming enshrined in the party's official declaration of principles."

By contrast, the inevitable speech by George W. Bush seems destined to be a disaster for McCain's quest for the White House.
