Demise of the John McCain Crusade
John McCain, the Senator from Arizona, declared his candidacy for President on April 14, 1999 , another name for the GOP ticket that was not made too much fuss about. Not given much consideration was allotted to him by the Republican party establishment that has already selected its white knight who would win them the presidency, Governor George Bush of Texas. But, Sen. McCain catapulted to national attention when he unexpectedly won the New Hampshire primary trouncing the established favorite with a 19 point lead. Ever since then, his campaign has been heading down stream with significant losses suffered in Delaware, South Carolina, Washington, and Virginia. And his poor showing on Super Tuesday including his failure to capture delegates in either the New York or California primaries has all but ended his bid for the presidency. The main rationalization of this downfall is because McCain did not appeal to Republican registered voters but other reasons also include negative campaigning, both his response to them and his lack of using them against his main opponent, Bush.
