"People know this is someone who knows the possibilities and limits of military action and would not take those steps lightly," said Steve Duprey, McCain's New Hampshire vice chairman, explaining the senator's appeal to antiwar voters.
They are very informed of his position on Iraq BUT they overlook it for his other qualities. NOTHING in the story implies that they voted for him because he is ANTIWAR.

Then they are either not really concerned as they claim about the war. Or, they ignore it because he's a "leader". I wonder how they feel now that the economy is the most important issue for most Americans?

That doesn't make them uninformed though.

Uniformed about the reality of his positions. They see him as a leader, he is not.

If I don't give a source, of course it's my opinion. McCain is a horrible choice for a leader. How many times has he changed his mind? He should have two candidacy spots in this election. 2000 McCain and 2008 McCain.

Cirst is NOT liked by anyone in Florida that I know personally and I know ALLOT of people in Florida.

My BIL says he is terrible and wished Jeb was still in office.

Jeb Bush was far more popular then Crist will ever be, I hope he comes out an endorses Romney, that will trump the Crist brainfreeze.

Stop reading the polls and the ratings, they are skewed to do what they just did above, allow people do use it when they agree and not use it when they disagree.

This is not good for the state of Florida.
