I never thought McCain supporters could get so hyper excited about having
one of their own that it'll motivate them to actually go out and vote?
I guess though they showed up at rallies they weren't registered though. and
the republicans weren't doing registration drives like Obama is.

Ironically, the loudest rebel yellin people I have met have proudly declined
to show up at the booths to cast their votes historically over the years I
have watched these things.
So election polling results notwithstanding, I thought, sure, they'll go on
and on to the surveyors about how they love this moose and wolf huntin milf.
But in truth, they don't intend to have enough energy to actually vote.
