The AP writes of John McCain that
... a planned four-day romp through early primary states and his Arizona home — gives Mr. McCain [Ed. Why the 'Mr.' instead of Senator or just plain McCain?] an opportunity to restart his campaign after a troubling four-month period ... [McCain casts himself as voice of experience, Associated Press]
and quotes his latest pablum for the masses.
“I'm not running for president to be somebody, but to do something; to do the hard but necessary things not the easy and needless things,” he said. “I'm not running to leave our biggest problems to an unluckier generation of leaders, but to fix them now, and fix them well.”
I gather the press 'like' John McCain which seems to be the most important criteria in the 'selection' of our Presidents, but McCain just does not have the kind of wealth and family mafia style connection to make them insist his most endearing quality is the ability to inspire a whole press pack to salivate at the thought of having beer with him. Until he can inspire that kind of loyalty from scribblers and keyboarders I don't know that there is much hope for him.
