Will ‘Ace’ McCain Flame Out Again?

This is from 2000, but since it's all historical, there's nothing new about it anyway. Still, for anyone who still thinks that Senator McCain is a great choice for prez, please educate yourself on who this guy really is--another "fortunate son", albeit from a military family.
