Again, this rests on the assumption that there are fixed posts marked "Conservative" and "Liberal", which McCain can use to define an axis on which to plot the political leanings of Americans. As I stated in the original post, this kind of thing is effective, but it continues to be ridiculous, because those posts move as the mood of the country shifts, and no two people agree on where they are anyway.
I feel like most of the comments here are reiterating the same point, which is a point I made in the original post: it makes political sense to use that phrasing, but it has no basis in reality, and as soon as you start poking at it that becomes apparent. Hence ridiculous.
