...While the success of real-people politicos McCain and Bush has been attributed to popular resentment for the status quo, the media is probably as responsible for the phenomenon as anybody. By June the races in both parties appeared to be over.

"He may tend to expect too much of himself and take it hard when/if things don't go as planned." Imprisonment seems to have cured one of McCain's problems as well: as one who had long sought to escape the shadow of his famous Navy father, McCain "feels his experience and performance...
