I think McCain, Obama and Biden all ought to quit the senate and concentrate on the presidential race. That would solve many problems at once.
That would be interesting to see them resign from the Senate and campaign for office. How many times were all the senators who were presidential candidates absent from the Senate, absent from the job the taxpayers are already paying them to do?
In 1996 Bob Dole resigned from the Senate when he became the Republican presumptive nominee for president. You figure they don’t resign because they want to hedge their bets, and still have an elective office to return to if they don’t get elected to the higher office.
And remember Joe Lieberman really hedged his bets in 2000 by running simultaneously for Vice-President and re-election to his Senate seat.
