It is amazing John McCain has been able to recover from such a stunning loss.

McCain, the Arizona senator and presumptive Republican nominee for president, hasn't dropped any primaries recently, but his NCAA bracket took a hit Friday when Connecticut, one of his picks for the finals, was upset by University of San Diego.

It's unclear why McCain picked the fourth-seeded Connecticut to go so far, but it could have had something to do with his foreign traveling companion this week, Joe Lieberman, senator from Connecticut.

Yet even with the upset, McCain's bracket stands at 19-9 as of this writing, only slightly behind the 19-8 bracket ratio of Sen. Barack Obama, one of McCain's Democratic rivals for the presidency.

FOX News has been unable to determine whether either is playing in a round-weighted pool, but Obama should coast to an easy victory unless UCLA loses.

On the other hand, people have underestimated McCain's ability to rebound before.
