<description>&#x3C;em&#x3E;The Washington Post&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x27;s Dan Balz asserted that Sen. John McCain&#x27;s &#x22;advocacy of comprehensive immigration reform&#x22; is among the policy positions that help &#x22;paint a portrait of someone not cut from the traditional [Republican] party mold.&#x22; In fact, McCain has abandoned his previous support for comprehensive immigration legislation, saying that he &#x22;would not&#x22; support his original comprehensive immigration proposal if it came up for a vote in the Senate.  </description>
