But seeing as him and Obama are looking to attract some of the same voters in NH, he's still politically useful to some parties involved.

It’s also fair to point out that outside of NH, McCain has almost no organization or resources. Even a come from behind win in NH is easily spun away by his competitors, and then it’s onto the south, where McCain is basically unsellable.

McCain’s Presidential bid is pretty much already dead. But seeing as him and Obama are looking to attract some of the same voters in NH, he’s still politically useful to some parties involved.

To be clear, I would not vote for him, but I think this argument from his is not only effective, it is fair game.

I still believe that John and Rudy are trailing Mitt and Huckabee for the nomination. John is not saying anything new to help his chances--its that the other candidates are beating each other up.
