John McCain.

And I just got this. So you think the only person the courts would accept as having standing would be the opposing candidate?
And what a stink that would have raised if McCain had brought the suit. It would have underlined that Obama at his core is essentially un-American — and it would have dredged up something about Obama he wants to hide even if he could have kept running.
Not all candidates. But the courts have found that opposing candidates due have standing to sue if their opponent is found to be ineligible. McCain being the only real opponent with a chance to win the election, he could make a case for damages if Obama is actually ineligible.
And what a stink that would have raised if McCain had brought the suit.
Stink or no stink, if McCain believed Obama was ineligible then he should have sued. The fact that he didn't seems to indicate he doesn't take Birthers seriously.
Another candidate, Alan Keynes (spelling?), DID file as a loser to Obama in the Presidential race; and was IIRC found to not have standing!
Anyone have the facts on that case?
