McCain Running For Reelection in 2010

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain, whose presidential bid was snuffed out two weeks ago by President-elect Barack Obama, is setting up a political action committee as a first step in running for a fifth term in the Senate.

A McCain spokesperson says the 72-year-old senator decided with his senior advisers Tuesday night to set up the fundraising PAC. The spokesperson spoke anonymously because the decision had not yet been made public.

McCain's term ends in 2010.

Oh joy.

Will he last that long? I know a number of older people (like myself) who saw the think-wheels coming off, and voted Obama because it was obvious McC seemed clueless with Joe L. at his elbow to get him into the present day. I voted Obie because it's going to take a very bright guy to get us out of the Bush mess.

He want's to spend time in Georgetown.. you know the one he was trying to run away during the campaign. I am Joe the plumber... I am an outsider. yeah right.

Hopefully the good citizens of Arizona will send him packing.

Do the world some good, John. Support a cause you truly believe in. Perfect your standup routine. Become Boxing Commissioner. Leave government alone; you've done enough there.

And, according to recent polls he will lose, and lose big.

Too bad so sad.

[HopeGirl]

he will loose,

its so sad, pathetic that these guys can not let go of power.

he needs to go home and deal with his family-that looks pretty messed up.

[TheNuff]

Time to retire. Take a load off.

[Avembe]

Come on John...i hope he'll run again and also hope you'll be smashed correctly!!!!!!!!!

Now McBush will find out how the demographics of the state of Arizona have changed.

His competition will include the current Governor of Arizona, and McBush will LOSE!!

He must really not enjoy being around Cindy that much. With that all my money I think I would find some time to spend with my wife and to work on philanthropic causes that did not involve struggling in the political arena.

They could probably rid an entire African country of AIDS just on the interest on her earnings from one year.

They have rarely been together in the entire time they have been married. McCain rarely even goes home on weekends. I would not be surprised to see a divorce in his future now that Cindy has had to give up her life-long dream of becoming first lady.

Some folks never know when to call it a day.

[Belisarius]

Who can the dems put up against him?

[JimboSlice]

Janet Napoletano, the very popular governor. I think the Mac is going down in flames in 2010.

[cannondaddy]

She beats him in polls for Senate 2010 so far...

[majorteddy]

I hope the Republicans embrace their former candidate for president. He is such a loser. He really does represent the Republican Party.

[mcantwell]

What? THIS is McCain's first priority?
