Think of people who argue that some other country with "single payer" pays half as much for health care, and uses that to argue for "single payer" here. I would submit that many of the people who use such an argument don't literally and exactly think that we will cut our health care spending in half by the change, only that it will go down.

Well, no, not exactly. But they sure don't think it will reduce it by ten percent. Closer to half than ten percent. Same with the nuclear plants. Probably not 700 and 80%, but a whole helluva lot more than we have now.

Considering all of those points and you get "McCain did not call for 700+ new nuclear plants".

If you're taking exception to someone claiming that McCain actually said that, I take your point. But I don't think you can reasonably argue that he was thinking along the lines of adding a dozen.
