McCain doesn't have to wear the pin. On any question of patriotism he has the trump card.
Kind of like when the Daily Show ranked the political power of each candidates response to the question where they were when they learned of MLK's assassination and McCain tromped the other two for being able to respond "well, I was living alone in a small cell..."
[Not that wearing a pin in any indication of actual patriotism. For example, I've never even owned a flag and I'm thoroughly unpatriotic.]
