McCain Emails Supporters: I’m Worried I May Not Win Reelection Easily

U.S. Senator John McCain is asking for funds as the strong threat of a Republican primary challenger looms heading into 2016. Tuesday afternoon he made a hard push for contributor cash to Friends of John McCain email subscribers.

McCain’s appeal letter opens by thanking supporters, and acknowledges his 2016 campaign would face a “unique set of challenges.”

McCain writes, “I’m going to be the target of a wide array of powerful groups,” meaning conservative critics. The letter invites the reader to “help to build a formidable campaign organization.” He adds, “There are few certainties in life,” then tries to encourage backers: “I am certain I will not be able to run for re-election unless I have your support.”

The McCain team is clearly reaching out to his base. The letter targets Obama’s foreign policy and cites America’s vulnerability because of a weak strategy that’s emboldened our enemies. “The result is that our nation is now in greater danger than at any time in our lives,” the letter adds.

The letter asks the reader to “stand with” McCain “at this pivotal time,” calling contributions to his campaign “much needed.”

At the close of the email McCain indicates his decision whether to run will “come soon” while suggesting a donation will help that decision along. “I need to know where you stand.”

The letter contained no fewer than six links to donate to the campaign.

Send the old geezer home to enjoy his retirement already.
WTH— is the Senate a hospice and country club with perks so coveted that these old critters want to leave in the stiff, horizontal position?

What is McCain - like 82? How old is he going to have to get, before he realizes it’s well past time for him to retire?

The old coot obviously intends to leave the Senate feet first.

I think guys like McCain have to stay in office to keep their secrets hidden.

If he had told the truth about Obama the same way he lied about his GOP primary opponents, he would be president right now
