Survivor: The Case For John McCain

“But most important to McCain's comeback has been the failure of his rivals to fill the void. Giuliani, Romney, Thompson and now Huckabee have all auditioned for frontrunner without nailing the role. ”


So now we all know why John McCain didn't get discouraged when his presidential campaign came crashing down around him last summer.
It turns out the fourth-term senator and former POW had a prescient notion about the future direction of the 2008 contest. Looking around him on the national stage, McCain could not discern a face with a future on Mount Rushmore. So he decided to stick around and give people a chance to come around.
