Normal people aren't this singularly focused. They have other interests. They talk about other things.
Someone's trying to create the illusion that McCain has support here. Of course, it's a lie. Here's where John McCain rates among Freepers:
Free Republic Opinion Poll: Who do you support in the GOP presidential primaries?
Even the minority who will reluctantly support him against Hillary in the general know he's a snake. And that 38% minority is right now, when he's running as far to the right as he possibly can (while his opponent is running as far left as she can). Wait until he starts wooing the independents in the general.
McCain is persona non grata with conservatives, for a few dozen really good reasons. No amount of slick TV ads or spamming operatives can cover for his eight-years of treachery and "post-partisan" acquiescence to leftists. He's a nasty SOB with a horrific track record, and he is, for the most part, loathed here. And this is pretty sleazy way of trying to distort that reality.
Then again... this is John McCain we're talking out.
