Did anti-war Mccain voters in primaries know he was pro-war?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Compared to the other mainstream candidates, McCain was in seen as having been in favor of a competently fought war as opposed to how Bush and Rumsfeld had mismanaged it even before the 2008 campaign took off. If you are anti-war and you see your choice as being between someone who favors the war no matter what and someone who favors it only if it can be successfully fought, who are you going to favor?  That said, anyone for whom the war in Iraq was issue #1, likely voted Democrat in both the primary and general election.
