These are McCain apologists.
[snip] Mar. 2004 Surveys earlier this year showed that many of the people who supported Howard Deans insurgent candidacy for the Democratic nomination were the same McCainiacs who helped McCain win the 2000 Republican primary in New Hampshire against Bush.

McCain defends Kerry on defense Arizona senator says GOP rhetoric not helpful
March. 18, 2004
WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Thursday he did not believe Democratic candidate John Kerry, a friend and Senate colleague, was weak on defense or would compromise national security if elected president.
This kind of rhetoric, I think, is not helpful in educating and helping the American people make a choice, McCain said on The Early Show on CBS. You know, its the most bitter and partisan campaign that Ive ever observed. I think its because both parties are going to their bases rather than going to the middle. I regret it.[snip]
