“Can someone tell me again how the hell John McCain won the nomination”

The media picked him. The MSM constantly printed/said wonderful things about McCain, while continually painting Romney as evil incarnate. People bought it. Oh, and IMHO, a lot of Dem crossover voting for McCain to ensure that the Dems wouldn't have to run against Romney. The left feared Romney and felt that McCain was either beatable, or if he actually won the presidency, he is actually one of them anyway.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Nah, the MSM or media didn’t pick him. The powers that be did simply because he is a front. Not that the others weren’t; but he agrees with their agenda. But, more to the point; the powers that be want globalization and be dammed with America or anyone else.

McCain became the presumptive nominee while winning only 31% of the total primary vote. Winner take all and open primaries helped McCain game the system.
