Bitcoin is the new John McCain.

I really don't understand this comment... Bitcoin is similar to a dead US senator who voted outside party lines on occasion?
During the 2008 election season, it became a running joke that certain pundits reacted to anything that happened with "this is good news for John McCain".
Ah, okay, that makes sense. An oblique reference but satisfying once understood.
