This is not really true. While that moment was a good one, you can't stand against that kind of bullshit and then pick a fucking rabid, racist, psycho as your running mate to reel in all of the rabid, racist, psychos in your party at the same time. There is no "having it both ways" when it comes to those people. And McCain with that pick (and Rove/Bush) did more to wake up that despicable portion of the electorate than anyone else.
