Translation The GOP brass will have to embrace McCain's number one issue -- campaign finance reform -- if he's going to throw his weight behind Bush. There are a bunch of little reform measures percolating in Congress right now, ... At least some of those will need to pass if we're going to see the McCain and Bush camps unify.
More Quotes from Nancy Gibbs:
In a year when it felt at times as if we had nothing in common anymore, we were united in this hope that our men and women at arms might soon come safely home, because their job was done.

McCain wants to make the GOP move in the direction of his issues, particularly campaign finance reform, ... There are two issues he'll squabble with Republican leadership on. First is his bitterness toward Bush for the attack ads from South Carolina on. Second, he can make the issue that he drew new voters into the party, and that the party will have to incorporate his platform if it wants to keep those voters.
