McCain wins GOP primary (http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080108/NEWS01/80108058/1002)
NASHUA, N.H. — John McCain rode the Straight Talk Express straight into first place in New Hampshire, and back into the thick of the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
“I hate to use the word kid, but I think we showed the people of this country what a real comeback looks like,” the Arizona senator told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday, savoring victory in the state he won eight years ago during his first White House bid.
“I’m grateful to the people of New Hampshire. I’m committed to keeping this country safe, and we’re going to move on to Michigan and South Carolina and win the nomination,” he added.
It was, indeed, a stunning comeback for the four-term senator who went from presumed front-runner a year ago to seemingly finished last summer after his campaign all but imploded. McCain not only stayed alive, but now heads into the next contest Jan. 15 in Michigan with momentum and the potential to raise much-need money.I've always liked him. I haven't made up my mind who I'd like to see get the nomination, but he's one of my favorites.
