People with last names starting with "Mc" don't tend to do well in presidential elections for some odd reason.

Uh, we only have two examples of that in modern times (McGovern and McCain), and both were basically doomed from the start given the economic and partisan climate at the time. Not exactly the largest sample size, I think other factors than the “Mc” were probably more important.

McAdoo, MacArthur, MacBride, McCarthy, McCloskey, McCormack, McCotter, McKinney, MacNider. Usually the McPresident Curse gets them before they can even get nominated.

He's an older statesment, like most Southern GOP governor, that haven't been a factor in GOP national politics. Only Graham, McConnell and Thune have made an impact in the Deep south, thus far, that make them natl figures.

South Dakota is the deepest south of all, since it is right in the name.
