McKinnon Shifts to ��Head Cheerleader��

True to his word, McCain media adviser Mark McKinnon is stepping back from his central role making TV ads for-- and advising-- McCain’s presidential campaign.

Austin-based Bushman has said he didn’t want to go up against Obama, whom he likes.

Source familiar with McKinnon’s thinking tells The Page: “McKinnon won’t be on the front lines making ads. But, he’ll be supporting McCain 100 percent as fan, friend and cheerleader. And, he’ll still be showing up from time to time in his lucky hat.”
