McCain's popularity canard

Once again, the MSM is recycling the tired canard that McCain's popularity with Republicans is waning because of the Iraq conflict.

But the president did receive one strong vote of support Tuesday: Senator John McCain, whose Republican presidential campaign has suffered because of his strong backing for the war, returned from Iraq and made clear he still vigorously supported U.S. military efforts there, ending speculation he might join a growing list of Republican defectors.

Wow, that's weird. I thought McCain's popularity went down because of his support for illegal immigrant amnesty.

But that's just me.
