the McCain Campaign
John McCain's campaign for the office of president of the United States has been carefully thought out in order to attract the largest possible amount of voters. As in all campaigns, everything that the candidate has said and done has been screened and planned so as to not offend or scare off any potential voters. Because of the campaign's thoughtfulness and attention to detail, the McCain campaign has been mostly successful up until this point. Until now John McCain and his closest competitor for the Republican party nomination, George W. Bush, have nearly been splitting support from party members, with a slight advantage toward Bush. Both candidates have been campaigning hard and the competition has been fierce, recently resulting in the negative advertising aimed toward the opponent that has become common place in American politics today.

The type of candidate who is at a disadvantage in the current system is someone who has little support to begin with, and cannot buy votes through any amount of advertising or campaigning. When it comes time to run for the Presidential election, not for the party nomination, the battle between candidates heats up. A good candidate must have a tough skin to shed off criticism and personal attacks from the media and from the other candidate. The candidate must now speak to audiences more confidently and present himself as a person who wants and can handle the power of being president. If a candidate has the endurance to make it through the campaign process successfully, then they should be commended for that alone regardless of the final result in the election.
