I have been making the case for weeks now that the GOP needs to be a big tent party. This Sunday John McCain agreed. From Politico
Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” the Arizona Republican said the GOP needs to do a better job of communicating with voters and recruiting local candidates. Reflecting on his 2008 White House run, he said: “Maybe I didn’t do a good enough job communicating with the American people.”Asked if being inclusive meant welcoming candidates and voters who support abortion rights or gay marriage, McCain said: “It means that we can have people in our party who do not have the same views on specific issues, as long as we share common principles.”
“We have to understand that maybe a candidate that can win in one part of our country, like the South, may not be able to get elected in Pennsylvania,” he said.

I must disagree, principles cannot be dismissed so easily, John McCain made himself very clear that he was for big government the same as Obama, THAT is why he lost and the GOP will continue to lose. McCain's problem was that he is McCain. If you have two parties saying the say thing, then it becomes a popularity contest and not a vote for a principle.
