In a word, Yes. I believe that his support of S. 2611 is one of the main reasons that McCain's Campaign is collapsing. Why? Because, contrary to popular opinion, independents are not the holders of the reigns of the GOP. The people in control are conservatives. That is why McCain lost last time, he tries to appeal to the wrong group. This is not the first time that He has crossed conservatives. Being part of the "Gang of 14", working on McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform, and saying that Jerry Falwell was a "force of evil". This is only a partial list, in short, McCain does not tow the party line, and this is costing him.
Obviously, this is not the only reason for his demise, but I will save the others for another day.
In closing, I don't believe McCain will ever get the nomination, in this election or in future elections. However, his staff still has 1/2 of a year to bring things back to where they had been.

McCain is not the only one. We are hearing of Sen. Craig's (R. Idaho) troubles in the news, but what we are hearing is only part of his problem. Idahoans are angry at Craig for supporting the amnesty bill that the folks in Washington recently tried to jam down our throats. approximately 70% of Idaho residents disagreed with the bill and Craig voted for it anyway. Not only did that show the arrogance of most U.S. senators and congressmen, but it spelled his political doom with Idaho voters.
His current troubles only add to the baggage. Unfortunately, he is considering a political future that no longer exists.
