"Despite McCain's support for the war, why does the republican base hate him?"
Great point....and they are ignoring that fact, also ---that even when saying he is supporting the war, he is also. vitriolic in his disgust at "the way Pres. Bush and fought the war"
Typical McCain...fence sitter extraordinaire.
Funny how no one ever points out to Chrissy et al that Guiliani (sp?) has been unwavering pro Bush, Pro War and he is trashing McCain in the polls. McCain, on the other hand, has been whisy washy and weak on the war. Hagel, who is Democrat in everything but name on Iraq, is doing the worst of anyone in the polls. So if it is "all about Iraq", why are the openly "surrender NOW", and the seen as weak on Iraq, candidates doing the poorest in the polls?
Seems once again factual reality escapes the DNC propagandists pretending to be "Journalists" on Droolball.
