(CNN) -- Just about six years after his career seemed to come to a crashing halt, when Barack Obama defeated him in the presidential election of 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain is poised to re-emerge as a major player in the next two years.
As the new chairman of the influential Armed Services Committee, McCain will be able to use this perch of power to loudly challenge the President's foreign policy agenda.
Call it McCain's revenge.
For several years, it seemed as if McCain was finished. The 2008 election delivered a huge blow to his political standing. Once considered the exciting maverick of Washington who could attract supporters from both parties, as a result of his pursuit of campaign finance reform and willingness to enter into bipartisan alliances, McCain won the award from many observers for running one of the worst campaigns ever. His attempt to cater to the right wing of the GOP and his selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate led many to question his political future.

The man is crazier than a bag of rats. He is insane, IMO.
What comeback????
Media already getting started on protecting a safe democrat vote!
McCain needs to retire and let someone with common sense get that job.
Retire? I think he needs to be committed to an institution for the criminally insane.
“Sen. John McCain is poised to re-emerge as a major player in the next two years.”
In only his psycho mind.
That would work too, but then we would have to pay for his care, and I prefer he pays for his own darn care.
Fixed it to make it politically correct
He’s locked on the public payroll for ever...
The author Julian Zelizer doesn't know it, but he nails McCain
Neoconservative are liberals who are for strong national defense and have no problem shedding American blood and treasure for expand "democracy" to shittehole retrograde assbackward counties...
McLame, GO AWAY!
CNN & McCain wish
WEll not forever....unless we pay after death.
Great. He and Mitt can run on the same ticket. Both experienced losers. Can you say President Clinton?
John McCain is to the republicans what Nancy Pelosi is to the democrats. Retire already!
One of the GOP’s many problems: Losers like Dole, McCain, and Romney have influence.
If CNN reports it, and no body sees it - did it really even happen?
