Former Crist campaign manager and chief of staff George LeMieux appeared on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews to answer how John McCain can appeal to the non-country-club Republicans. His answer:
"What I've learned working for Charlie Crist is that it's simple. People want someone who's going to fight for them on issues that are important,'' LeMieux said. That means, they want good schools, good jobs, affordable health care, "and if you're a problem solver, not an ideologue, not an Washingtonian who fights back and forth with parisan rancor."
