More evidence that the issues have been carefully removed from the
presidential campaign, really now no more than a high-school popularity

NH Voters Thought McCain Opposed the Iraq War?
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 in News by James Bovard
CNN crunched the exit poll data from yesterday’s New Hampshire primary
and found that “among the 34 percent [of Republican primary voters] who
said they disapproved of the war, McCain had a wide advantage over the
GOP field — even over Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the sole advocate of a U.S.
withdrawal in the Republican field.” (hat tip to Think Progress).
Perhaps such voters did not realize the temporal difference between
exiting Iraq ”now” (in Ron Paul’s case) versus 10,000 years from now (in
McCain’s case, according to his comment on CBS’s Face the Nation last week).
McCain has rarely missed a chance to grovel at Bush’s feet to support
the Iraq war...
