What's the deal with John McCain's jaw? On the Daily Show last week, it was obvious that he has this marble-size protuberance growing out of his left jaw, near the back of his cheek. Google turns up some articles describing swelling there after surgery for skin cancer, but that was in 2001...Anyone have the skinny?
It's the wrist watch that he promised his buddy in Hanoi that he would one day deliver to his grandson, the rightful heir.

I saw it the other day on CNN and I too noticed it was far more pronounced that I've seen it before. I have no answers, just saying I do think this is something new.

From the looks of it, it seems like scar tissue. I saw some candid shots of him from the convention and it's fairly shiny and bumpy looking, and rather pink. Not pleasant. Perhaps he had to have a follow-up biopsy or additional tissue excised that we haven't heard about?
