“...McCain haters, while vocal, are so out of step with the majority of voters...”

Over and over and over again, the supporters of McCain in this article said that us wackos are out of step over immigration. They don’t understand. For us it is a law and order issue. Our country is being ravaged by anarchists who know they can get by with ignoring our laws, abetted by the Federal Government.
We need to change the government in Washington, D.C. Say NO to McCain.
No they don't because they're too busy making excuses for McCain. It wasn't a tiny but loud minority that shut down the phone lines in DC last June, it was the vast majority of the population absolutely opposed to their scheme.
Honestly, a good portion of those who are boiling mad at McCain’s amnesty bill aren’t particularly conservative in other areas. These are people that don’t have strong feeling about abortion, are displeased over Iraq, and don’t even know or care to know what McCain-Feingold is all about.
To some degree I wince when I hear anyone declare that McCain is the most electable candidate. Most people who aren’t that into politics only know John McCain as the guy behind Iraq and illegal immigration - two unpopular issues. Of course, maybe some people will allow the sentimentality of a war hero becoming president decide their vote; but then again, exactly how successful was that sentimentality for Kerry in 2004?
So far, McCain has not won a majority anywhere. And in fact, he hasn't even won a plurality of actual Republicans in many places, and he's yet to win the conservative republican vote anywhere.
And according to this article, he's only got 41% of his own state republicans supporting him. Certainly the undecideds are waiting to learn more about him.
So it appears a majority is not all that interested in McCain.
