WASHINGTON (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is reaching out to
liberal and non-partisan bloggers in an effort to bring new voters to
his presidential campaign.
McCain invited them to join his regular conference call Thursday, the
Washington Times reported. The call took place after McCain gave a
major speech outlining his plans for the next four years if he is
elected president.
"The plan is to take the work we've already built on with conservative
bloggers and to open up a dialogue with non-conservative bloggers and
even non-political bloggers," said Patrick Hynes, in charge of the
campaign's blog outreach.
McCain, before he became the presumptive Republican presidential
nominee, used conference calls with right-wing bloggers to build ties
to the party's conservative wing. While McCain shares most of their
views, the party's right wing objects to some of his positions,
notably immigration and campaign finance.
