And the question becomes why would that number be higher? McCain's media status as a "maverick" has obviously done what no one thought could be done, and that is having the Republican nominee NOT be tied to the failed Presidency of George W. Bush. McCain was enough of a thorn in President Bush's side that he escapes a lot of the brunt for it.

And I think his reported struggles to court the conservatives in his party only help in that view of McCain.
