Withdraw. The re-citing/re-framing course I've embarked upon is very time-consuming, and I haven't even started on the hard sections yet (Vietnam/POW). And when that's done, the whole thing will need another copyedit/MOS/extlink sweep. Due to various reasons, I will not be able to complete this within a reasonable timeframe for this FAC.

Self-nomination. No previous nomination, although a good deal of this material was present in the old, pre-split-up John McCain when it had this failed FAC a few weeks ago. I'm nominating this article for featured article because unlike that case, this time the main editor is behind the nomination, and the stability concerns regarding the presidential election that troubled that FAC are not relevant to this article's scope. Furthermore, while this is a subarticle in the WP:SUMMARY sense, I believe it is a well-defined biographical narrative with its own beginning, middle, and end, and thus is worthy of FA consideration.
