WASHINGTON - If there's one storyline that nearly all Americans can appreciate, it's the comeback.
We see it in our films ("The Natural," "Star Wars"), our sports (the 1992-93 Buffalo Bills, the 2004 Red Sox), our history (the Texan victory after the Alamo, the Pacific theater in World War II), and -- especially -- our politics.
Take Harry Truman's come-from-behind victory over Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential election. Or Richard Nixon's two presidential wins in 1968 and 1972, after losing his 1960 bid and his race for governor two years later. Or the political triumphs by the ultimate Comeback Kid -- Bill Clinton -- after Gennifer Flowers, his administration's health-care debacle, and his impeachment.
