ROCKY RIVER, Ohio (AP) — John McCain said Monday that to win the White House he must convince a war-weary country that U.S. policy in Iraq is succeeding. If he can't, "then I lose. I lose," the Republican said.

He quickly backed off that remark.

"Let me not put it that stark," the likely GOP nominee told reporters on his campaign bus. "Let me just put it this way: Americans will judge my candidacy first and foremost on how they believe I can lead the county both from our economy and for national security. Obviously, Iraq will play a role in their judgment of my ability to handle national security."

"If I may, I'd like to retract 'I'll lose.' But I don't think there's any doubt that how they judge Iraq will have a direct relation to their judgment of me, my support of the surge," McCain added. "Clearly, I am tied to it to a large degree."

...and that waterboarding is not torture and that we DO NOT torture.

...and that Bush and Cheney are decent human beings, beloved by most of the citizens of this country.

...and etc, etc, etc.

Or he'll lose.

BTW, I think he is already a lost cause.

5. And he already admitted he knows little about the economy

"Americans will judge my candidacy first and foremost on how they believe I can lead the county both from our economy and for national security."

"Friends, I am 0 for 2 in factors you will judge my candidacy upon."
