SUMMARY: Comparing Sen. John McCain's 2008 Republican presidential campaign to his failed 2000 bid, Politico senior political writer Jonathan Martin stated: "There is another reason why McCain's fared better this time -- he reluctantly allowed his campaign to spotlight his 5 1/2 years in the Hanoi Hilton." However, numerous reports in 2000 noted the prominent role McCain's experience as a POW in Vietnam played in his first presidential campaign.
