Analysis: McCain's best option is return to rebel roots

The Arizona Daily Sun

..."Running as an establishment candidate robbed him of the most compelling and unique aspects of his political persona _ the reformer, the insurgent, the maverick," said Dan Schnur, an adviser to McCain in his first presidential run. "He's still the same guy but wrapped into the establishment. Maybe they can still strip that away."

Once the GOP front-runner, McCain finds his second presidential candidacy in peril six months before the primary voting begins. Over the past week, he accepted the resignations of two top aides and elevated a third to run the campaign, laid off more than half his staff, narrowed his strategy to three states and disclosed he had only $2 million to spend.
