Yes, and I suppose this goes some way to explaining how so many of the core traditional Republican base (ie. who you'd expect to be anti-McCain) are willing to 'support' him. In a way, McCain probably stood a better chance of getting their backing at this election, this time, than at any other. You just know that if he continues down this new path of correcting their ignorant "Obama's an A-rab terrorist" type remarks, they'll be feeling that same discomfort that comes with supporting a candidate because you have no other choice, not because you want to.
After all, it's not like the GOP can run on its successful record this time round.
