GOP Sen. Norm Coleman says conservative critics of John McCain will be there for him in November's general election but he says McCain has some work to do. In his weekly conference call, Coleman said McCain will have to tout his conservative credentials to earn that conservative support.
"I think he does have to go before conservative groups and give Ronald Reagan's admonition that he's not going to be with you 100% of the time. On the core issues of national security, on fiscal responsibility, on respect for life and freedom, John has been there. He has a strong case to be made and he simply has to make the case.."
Coleman also said he thinks conservatives, independents and conservative Democrats will be supporting both he and McCain in November.
