Washington, Oct. 13 : Senior members of the Republican party are reportedly in open mutiny against John McCain''s presidential campaign, after a disastrous period which has seen Barack Obama solidify his lead in the opinion polls.
McCain is being told to settle on a coherent economic message and to tone down attacks on Democratic rival Barack Obama.
The Independent quoted two former rivals for the party nomination, Mitt Romney and Tommy Thompson, as saying over the weekend that the Republican camp is in disarray because of McCain''s erratic performance risks.
