The real Comeback Kid

Bill and Hillary Clinton have been reveling in their stature as the “Comeback Kids.”
First it was Bill, elevated from his political death bed back in 1992 in New Hampshire. Then the act was repeated this year by his wife, who rallied after a stinging defeat in the Iowa caucuses.

So what, exactly, are we to make of one John McCain?

Just last summer, team McCain was running on fumes, running out of money, firing staff. It appeared that the senator from Arizona’s bid to win the Republican presidential nomination was in a death spiral.

Today, fresh off a resounding win in the Florida primary, he’s the clear front-runner. One-time leader Rudy Giuliani was drubbed and likely will withdraw today, giving his endorsement to McCain on the way out the door.

It now comes down to McCain and Mitt Romey for the Republican crown.

Here’s a prediction. McCain is the nominee; Fred Thompson is his vice president. They beat either Hillary or Sen. Barack Obama.

You heard it here first.
