McCain grabs GOP bid, faces divided party

The Washington Times

Sen. John McCain, having survived the Republican primaries, now needs to bind a fractured Republican Party as he looks to the presidential election this fall.

But the manner of his victory — he clinched his party's nomination by outlasting flawed opponents rather than storming to victory over them — has left him with the tasks of repairing fissures among Republicans and overcoming the headwind of an unpopular president from his party.

And he will have to do that while facing the historic candidacy of either a woman or a black man as his Democratic opponent.
