Hi

Nevertheless, McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, made clear that he believed his prospects in November would rest in large measure on the way the situation in Iraq played out.

Whether the part in bold above means ' John McCain's prospects in November would depend heavily on how the situation in Iraq was '?

Many thanks for your help!
