McCain’s bid for president was sidetracked in South Carolina in 2000 after a victory in New Hampshire. George W. Bush won the primary here and went on to win the nomination and White House.

“In life, one of the worst things you can do is hold a grudge,” he said. “I felt the important thing for me to do with my life was to move forward after we lost our race. You have seen other people who have lost who mire themselves in bitterness and self pity. That’s not what my life is all about.”

He is and will continue to have Saturn transits reigning him in and spoiling his fun for the rest of the year and into 2008. In terms of his campaign, he will continue to lose support and interest in him as a candidate will wane until he is just a speck of dust in the desert - as viewed from outer space.</p> Well it is more than karma going to do in McCain.
