How does Coburn feel?
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, a hero of the conservative movement, endorsed McCain last month and campaigned for him in South Carolina. He introduced him at the conservative conference last week and argued that the enemy wasn't McCain but other Republicans.

Inhofe said Coburn "has always put (McCain) on a pedestal.”
