| McCain came down with terminal cancer. He was diagnosed while running for president. He withdrew from the candidate scene, spent a little time with his family, made some deals on the side with other candidates, and then announced that he was giving up his candidacy. Prior to that moment, he was "politicking" with the understanding that he was healthy. After he was diagnosed, he became a "politicker" behind the scenes, and there he has stayed. It s*cks that he quit and changed his tune, but you can't beat cancer. He salvaged what he could in the way that he could. |
