NPR: Gangster John

Gangster John

McCain invoked "The Gang of 14" in tonight's debate. His "Gang" involvement is one of the most prominent examples of the senator bucking his party leadership, and it's one of the reasons McCain had a hard time attracting conservatives to his campaign during the primary. His mention of the gang might be the clearest sign that he is angling for support from independents as the campaign enters its final days. Here NPR's Mara Liasson compares McCain and Obama's bipartisan efforts.
