PHOENIX – has cast his ballot at a church near his central Phoenix home.

McCain stepped out of a sport-utility vehicle Tuesday morning with wife Cindy as a small crowd cheered “Go, John, go!” and “We love you!” One person carried a sign that read, “Use your brain, vote McCain!”

They walked into the church, cast their ballots and left within minutes, avoiding any lines.

McCain signed a poster and gave the thumbs-up sign before leaving without speaking to reporters.
