IANMTU, no less a political creature than Nancy Reagan deemed McCain unelectable (at least in the Republican orbit) in the early 80s at the start of his election ambitions.
She felt the circumstances of his divorce and remarriage (I swear I am not making this up) were sufficiently scandalous as to preclude a successful run for anything.
In Nancy's defense, I do note McCain's first wife was an absolute saint and a class act, but Nancy Reagan really under appreciated the POW angle.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
