Sen. John McCain is running for re-election in 2016.
The Arizona Republican, who was first elected in 1986, will seek a sixth term, he said. The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and 2008 presidential nominee will be 80-years-old by Election Day, but told NBC News his Senate career is "just getting started."
"I say, watch me," he said to critics of his age. "Take a look. Take a look at my 18-hour days. Take a look at the hearings we have. Take a look at my legislative accomplishments."
McCain said he will win re-election by continuing to be outspoken on foreign policy and stress home state issues, including immigration and veterans affairs.
He also said he expects a GOP primary challenge by Tea Party conservatives — but that he is prepared.
McCain told the Arizona Republic he will officially announce his bid in a speech before the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the Arizona Biltmore resort in central Phoenix.

Tell me where to send a donation.
To his primary opponent.
Please Arizona, do not inflict this Democrat in an R jersey on us again. He and his cheap labor importing partner Jeff Flake need to go.
No. No, no, no, no, no, no....
We wouldn’t need term limits if we had men of honor and integrity.
Me too.
I would love to see McCain defeated.
John, it is not that you are too old it is that your ideas are.
does anyone expect sarah palin to go barnstorming thru Az again campaigning for this A hole ?
We need a challenger with far less baggage this time around.
I voted for the Democrat in 2012. Guess I’ll do the same in 2016, and I strongly suspect McCain will be the AZ senator in 2017...
:>(
It is hard to fight the “open primary system” in AZ.
That is the only reason McCain always wins.
The title could also read,”John McCain announces he will talk more like a conservative until November 2016.”
..not sure where this picture was taken?
And he will continue to be influenced by the two ultra-liberal witches in his life, his wife and his daughter, and govern according to their every wish and whim; not to mention his Senate girl friend, Linda Graham.
No one should ever stay in office at these old ages. Minds and bodies become addled. The power and prestige is such a lure to these people, it’s disgusting.

Barring a full collapse, it currently looks like a Conservative Right of Center Candidate will get the nomination and win the Presidency as the media hyped coronation of Hillary is not generating mass numbers. So the GOP-E Wing will try to retain as many RINO in the Congress to work with the Democrats to undermine the people’s choice as they can’t have the sheep supporting nothing short of a figurehead.
Just please be aware that the Obama Admin has been packing Arizona with Illegal Democrat voters for several years. I will vote for the Conservative in the Primary. Prayers that the Conservative will then win in the General election.
