		Fresh from a trouncing in South Carolina at the hands of Gov. George W. Bush, John McCain is in the unfamiliar position of being the clear favorite in today's Arizona Republican primary.
		In this light, McCain's penchant for bucking his party on social-conservative issues is not merely an expression of Barry Goldwater-style individual principle - it's also politically expedient.
		While a win in Arizona should keep McCain's campaign running for weeks, his loss in South Carolina and an expected close race in Michigan underline a larger point: If McCain doesn't start winning some big states, and soon, he could just be yet another whetstone who sharpened Bush.
