He’s the media’s boy.

Ignorance brought us McCain. We need to get smarter...FAST.

Poll after the 2008 election:

Voters Unaware of Candidates’ Immigration Positions; McCain Supporters Farthest Off the Mark

# Only 34 percent of McCain voters, 42 percent of Clinton voters, and 52 percent of Obama voters correctly identified their candidate as favoring eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants who meet certain requirements.
# Of McCain voters, 35 percent mistakenly thought he favored enforcement that would cause illegals to return home, another 10 percent thought he wanted mass deportations, and 21 percent didn’t know his position.
# Voters often held different positions from the candidate they supported. Only 31 percent of McCain voters had the same immigration position as he does[snip]

I am still perplexed as to how McCain ever got the nomination.

I wondered why, too.. I was told the RNC promoted him.. That it was 'his turn' and that there was nothing we could do about. This doesn't make sense to me since the RNC can't force us who to vote for. I guess they put enough money behind him so the clueless would go for him?
