Underdog?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/19/campaign.wrap/index.html John McCain says:

"I love being the underdog. You know, every time that I've gotten ahead, somehow I've messed it up," the Republican candidate said.

Wow... well at least he admits to messing up, unlike our current Republican leader.  But wasn't he the clear leader a few months back?  I was thinking Obama didn't stand a chance, now it's the other way around.  Hmmm....

When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!
Speed of lightning! Roar of thunder!
Fighting all who rob or plunder!
Underdog! Underdog!
