Running in Reverse: From the Middle to the Right John McCain is running for president backward.Last week, the lucky-in-his-enemies Arizona senator locked up the Republican nomination, ending a battle of partisan attrition. Mr. McCain won in part because conservatives could never find a worthy alternative to rally behind to defeat him. The standard operating procedure at this point would be for Senator McCain to pivot toward the political center to position himself for the general election. Instead, Mr. McCain finds himself having to tack rightward to satisfy a disgruntled, skeptical conservative base.
