Just His Just Deserts?

For some strange reason, Arizonans Arizanies (boycotting the state is good, but why not add insult to injury?) seem to strongly disapprove (pdf) of John McCain’s job performance:

John McCain might still beat Barack Obama handily were there a redo of the 2008 election in McCain’s home state, but the senator’s constituents now view Obama’s job performance more favorably than they do that of their longtime senator. 45% of Arizona voters like the job Obama is doing, to 51% who disapprove. While that may seem bad, only 34% approve of how McCain is handling his job to 55% who do not.

Perhaps this has something to do with the behavior that gives rise to the following joke?
Q: If McCain was a bear, what kind of bear would he be?
A: That’s easy! A pander bear!

    I was never a fan of Grampy McCain, but I do take offense to the Arizanies comment…

    I don’t like the law any more than most of the rest of the country, but some of us live here by circumstance and not by choice.

    Pretty sad when a good majority of the state think that “Papers please!” is the right way to deal with illegal immigration. Haven’t they tried this approach in other places? Communist China comes to mind, as does East Germany back in the day (and even more so, Germany as a whole, way back in the day). Some never learn from history…

    I can’t say “no offense intended”, but you know exactly where I’m coming from.

    And presumably you understand that I don’t consider everyone who lives in Arizona to be a zany.
