He’s not so much a has-been as a never-was...
First thing I thought of when I saw the headline. How can he have peaked when he never was in the first place.
McCain was a very poor candidate and an even worse campaigner. Obama's victory said very little about him since there was very little to say about him. There was no vetting of his candidacy. And yet McCain was so weak as to allow a clearly unacceptable challenge to beat him.
I’ve been reading tons of comments on yahoo after Øbama stories. And 99.8% of them are against him.
That seems unusual for left-leaning yahoo.
