There have only been two real questions that have been facing the McCain camp for some time now: Who's going to be his running mate, and who's he going to be running against?
Well, these questions are still up for debate, so it's been unclear what the answer will be, but as time has chugged along, we've come to a point where as of Tuesday, March 4th, we may have an answer to who McCain will be running against, which ultimately may lead to an answer to the first question. (The idea of picking out a running mate based on the opponent has been tossed around quite a few times so far!)
However, over the past week, McCain has been a man of honor, taking the high road against the petty bashing against his Democratic rival, Barack Obama. While at a McCain rally in Ohio, Bill Cunningham made several references to Barack's middle name, "Hussein." This, was obviously done with the intent of stirring up trouble and trying to scare swing voters away from supporting him because his name sounds unamerican. McCain, however, immediately denounced Cunningham's actions and remarks- which resulted in Cunningham's prompt pulling of support from John McCain.
With McCain squabbling with his supporters, who knows whether it's helped him gain support from swing voters, or lose support of the far right for nit picking at Cunningham's remarks.
I suppose we'll find out sometime soon.

There is a possibility of Mitt Romney rejoining the presidential race, if that were to happen what would McCain do? How would McCain handle Romney? How would Romney rejoining affect the balance between Huckabee and McCain?
In my opinion McCain was right to denounce Bill Cunningham's remarks and statements since these make McCain look like a bad person. Another issue that has been spreading greatly is the idea that he is Muslim. This has been especially spread through the Internet. Many think that since his middle name is "Hussein" that he is Muslim. However, Barack has verified that these claims are untrue and that he is a devout Christian who has been going to the same church over twenty years. I am anxious to hear who McCain's running mate will be.
