One could argue that McCain came from behind to be the candidate for the Republican party only because he sang "Bomb Iran" to the tune of "Barbara Ann." The neocons saw someone who would continue American military adventures in the Middle East and threw all of their support behind him.
Although he was unquestionably a war hero, there was nothing about that him that made him qualified to be the president. That he had to bring on Sarah Palin as his running mate to get conservatives to vote for the ticket shows how weak a candidate he was.

You’re exactly right. If Palin hadn’t been the VP candidate, Barr would have come in second.
