LANSING -- Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox may live to rue the day he bailed out on John McCain when the Arizona senator's presidential campaign was circling down the drain last summer, according to some political observers.
Cox quit as chairman of McCain's Michigan campaign in September -- just days before 1,500 Michigan Republicans were to gather with McCain and the other GOP presidential hopefuls at a Mackinac Island leadership conference.
It was an embarrassing rebuke to McCain, the one-time GOP front-runner. His campaign at the time was in a free fall as political contributions dried up, forcing staff layoffs, and his support in state and national polls was dropping like a rock. Today, things are very much different for McCain, who staged a convincing win in this week's New Hampshire primary and hopes to reprise his 2000 Michigan primary victory Tuesday. McCain has lifted himself from his political death bed to become a major player in the run for the White House. More on the story.

McCain doesn't have the Bush base and Rudy does. It doesn't matter what the candidates do it's the GOP's choice not the voters.
