I have always loved Stu Nahan's line in the first Rocky :

"The challenger seems to be blocking punches with his face."

John McCain has blocked a lot of punches with his face lately--but he continues to keep coming. It is who he is.

Although I counted McCain out several weeks ago--I was just last night thinking that things were so dreadful on the GOP side that McCain might still have a chance to win the nomination the old fashioned way.

Alas, Emmett Tyrrell, of American Spectator fame beats me to the counter punch. His article, "John McCain Battles On" is worth reading here.
