Early in the primary process other candidates began dropping out one by one. Heck, just a year ago <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article1977477.ece" rel="nofollow">even McCain was thinking of quitting</a> because he couldn't drum up the support. Then the party powers began leaning on other candidates to winnow it down to McCain because they figured he'd stand the best chance of winning. That had <em>nothing</em> to do with the primary process. I’d have to disagree with your Dad with respect to McCain’s candidacy.
