6. No, it wasn't all Indies choosing him--he won some closed primaries.
He has strength with Indies, but also moderate Repubs who logically want to win--his weakness is with those on a quest for ideological purity on the right. They tried to throw Thompson to the wall to see if he would stick, and that didn't work. So in the end, McCain's polling strength against our candidate was his ultimate weapon.
