Exit McCain, What Then?

David Brooks writes this about the McCain scandal today:

At his press conference Thursday, McCain went all-in. He didn’t just say he didn’t remember a meeting about Iseman. He said there was no meeting. If it turns out that there is evidence of an affair and a meeting, then his presidential hopes will be over.


Which got me thinking...what happens if in the next few weeks the affair is somehow proven? They find the straight talk equivalent of the blue dress?

Does the GOP go forward with McCain? If not, what? Does Romney step back in? An opening for Bloomberg?

Can we see the 2008 presidential campaign get any more unusual and interesting?

I have a feeling that, yes, we can.
