1. Out of the handful of people who heard this reported in the media, we all heard about it after we already voted and not for McCain. I asked dozens of Republicans and most didn't even hear about the fliers.
2. Wouldn't have mattered to me anyway.
We didn't want McCain then for some of the following reasons;
1. His part in the Keating Five scandal.
2. His ready acceptance of the Democrat crossover vote. The most common response from fellow Republicans “ Democrats don't choose our candidate”, something they forgot this year.
3. He was and still is just plain creepy.
* The people who printed the McCain smear fliers were most likely of the white sheet wearing variety and not known to have brains or be members of the Republican party.
I was living in South Carolina in 2000, and voted in the primary (for Bush). I never saw one of these fliers, and never heard about these rumors until after the primary. You’d think living in the state capital and working five blocks from the Statehouse, I’d have heard about this stuff.
