McCain clinched the nomination, passing the magic 1,191 number, and
Huckabee
dropped out. The New York Daily News: "As the nominee, McCain can now
bolster his own operation by tapping into the computers and fund-raising
lists of the Republican National Committee and the White House political
shop. McCain has pledged to rewrite the GOP playbook by fielding efforts
in
the Democratic strongholds of New York, New Jersey and California, where
polls show him in tight contests with either Clinton or Obama." More:
"McCain's political resurrection saw him go from GOP front-runner to
single-digit also-ran last June as his campaign operation unraveled and
his
fund-raising flatlined."

McCain then went outside and got on his knees and surrendered to the
"North
Vietnamese".
