I live in Texas and know quite a few people who think like this. And, for the most part, they're truly good-hearted people who would give you the shirt off their back.
But the Republicans always use fear to garner votes (Willy Horton, Star Wars missile defense, Terrorists on every corner) and fear is a powerful motivator.
In fact, look at how many of the pro-McCain posts talk about fear. They're scared of everything--terrorists, socialism, blacks taking over, having their gones taken away--the world is one big bogeyman to them. Very, very few of the posts talk about why McCain would be a better leader. It's always that they're just afraid of Obama.
