The wingnut fringe is beginning to panic that McCain will lose the election and Democrats will have a filibuster-proof majority in Congress.
In a recent email to supporters Minuteman PAC executive director Brett Farley says he prefers other candidates but admits he's voting for John McCain because, "We simply cannot afford a European Socialist regime at the hands of one-party rule by the Obama-Pelosi-Reid axis of big government." He also urged others to vote for McCain as well.
Evidently fear of Obama trumps dislike for McCain. This may be seen in increasing poll numbers for McCain as well as deteriorating poll numbers for fringe candidates Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin. The wingnuts who support them are buying into the GOP argument that an Obama administration, backed by an unfettered Congress, will take away their guns, raise their taxes, kill babies, open the borders to yellow and brown hordes, and promote sodomy. At that prospect even the staunchest McCainophobic wingnut will reconsider their vote for a third party candidate.
