Ever since the "Republican base" wormed its way into McCain's campaign and took over, the husk that used to be McCain has been saying what they tell him to.
Yay! What I think. I used to really like McCain, before he ruined his campaign by rallying his own party and forgetting that the people he REALLY needs to impress are the Independents, who aren't too impressed by the Republican Rhetoric.
Back to the main post, because I don't feel like posting separate comments: I must be an Okay Ordinary American, because I have my occupation as the last part of my lj username!
I think the people who fall for typical campaign techniques are the ones who were already going to vote that way to begin with. They just use those things as validation.
