Yeah, we all remember how McCain-Kennedy was attempted to be shoved down our throats. I don’t trust him. I expect him to apologize for smearing the Religious Right. Otherwise, he will have to win without a few million votes.
I share your POV but IF it were true that the great majority of MS voters shared them, do you really think Billy McCoy and his band of henchmen would have so much political power in our state?
Remeber how JT and Dave were challanging voters to ask their rep whether or not he’d back McCoy for the speakership this time?
Yet...there he is.
If our fellow voters were paying attention to the immigration issue or most others that conservatives take issue with McCain on, that wouldn’t be the case.
In fact, the average general election voter (not the primary voter - they are informed)doesn’t have a clue what “McCain/Kennedy” or “McCain/Feingold” actually do.
Sadly.
The upside of that (if you want McCain elected which I am ambivalent about) is that those are the same voters who will react viscerally (in the negative) to so many different things about Obama that it hardly matters what they learn about McCain.
He’s already made his peace. And he’s not going to do anything stupid even if I wanted him to at this point to hurt his (our, or perhaps I should say my) chances in the general election.
