McCain Fights for His Political
Life<http://politicalwire.com/archives/2010/07/12/mccain_fights_for_his_political_life.html>New
York magazine <http://nymag.com/news/politics/67144/> runs an interesting
profile of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and how his unexpectedly tough
re-election fight makes his think about his legacy and that "political life
is fleeting, that he could one day be forgotten. It scares him."

One interesting anecdote: "When Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown won Ted
Kennedy's old seat and agreed to campaign for McCain in Arizona, McCain
could hardly believe he needed a political neophyte from the Northeast to
help him draw crowds in his own state, especially one who had declined
McCain's invitation to campaign for him in Massachusetts (fearing McCain's
Establishment taint). After a rally at Grand Canyon University, McCain was
annoyed when Brown tried giving him campaign advice while they drove in a
car together. Three nights later, Brown and McCain were scheduled to have
dinner, but McCain canceled."
