The Democrats don't need to resort to lines of "logic" such as this to win, IMO.
Of all the Republicans in the US Senate, few know John McCain as well as Thad Cochran, who first met the front-runner for the party's presidential nomination when they lived in Mississippi during the 1970s.
“The thought of him being president sends a cold chill down my spine,” Mr Cochran said last week, as he announced his endorsement for Mr McCain's rival, Mitt Romney. “He is erratic. He is hot-headed. He loses his temper and he worries me.”

For whatever reason, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has not, until recently, had a pervasive reputation among the voting public for being hot-tempered – despite accounts of an explosive temper spanning decades.
For example, after he was elected to the Senate for the first time in 1986, McCain spent what should have been a joyous moment screaming until he was red-faced and poking the chest of a young campaign worker who hadn´t set up the lectern tall enough for him. According to Jon Hinz, then-executive director of the Arizona Republican Party, "There were an awful lot of people in the room . . . It wasn´t right."
And The largest newspaper in John McCain’s home state is questioning whether the Republican senator has the temperament to be president.
The Arizona Republic, in an editorial in today’s editions, criticizes McCain for a “volcanic” temper it says he has unleashed on other politicians, reporters and even the public.
“If McCain is truly a serious contender for the presidency, it is time the rest of the nation learned about the John McCain we know in Arizona,” the newspaper says in the editorial. “There is also reason to seriously question whether he has temperament, and the political approach and skills, we want in the next president.”
