Comeback
What a crazy election, and what an amazing comeback.
It’s only a few months ago that in New Hampshire the local media was reporting Senator McCain was riding commercial flights carrying his own bags; and that his campaign’s SUV had a flat tire (literally the tire went flat when driving away from a campaign event). Now he’s locked up the nomination, and it seems almost anti-climactic as everyone pretty much knew it was coming.
However, people shouldn’t forget what an incredible story this is. Granted McCain’s lived another comeback story that is far more impressive. However, in political terms this is about as good as it gets. Even just a few months ago no one in the media thought he had a chance. It wasn’t that they thought he was an underdog, it was that they thought he was toast.
Senator McCain is a living example of the ‘never give up’ mantra, and hopefully people are starting to realize the error of counting this man out.
