His turnaround following that defeat proved that the front-running Texas Governor didn't have a glass jaw, that he was more than a political heir relying on name recognition alone. Today it's John McCain, the man who handed Bush that defeat and is now the nominal G.O.P. establishment candidate in the 2008 Presidential election, who has to prove he can bounce back from a humbling early defeat...
