McCain Plans to Run Again (for the Senate)
NY Times ^ | 11/25/08 | Kate Phillips

In his first real news conference since the week following his defeat for the presidency, Senator John McCain emerged today in Phoenix to talk about his own future.

He said he plans to run again in 2010 — it may seem a long time from now for you but so many are already gearing up for the midterm elections that maybe it’s no surprise. The longtime Arizona senator — at age 72 — had already returned to the Senate earlier this month and tried to deflect media inquiries every time he ventured into one of its public hallways.

At his news conference today, he continued to defend his selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, a choice that many top Republicans and their pundits ultimately came to blame for his decline in the polls. While the conservative newcomer was enormously popular at rallies during the fall election season, her lack of foreign policy experience and her inconsistent performances in interviews undercut the Republican presidential ticket for many leading Republican thinkers.

“It looks like Happy was simultaneously ticking off a lot of freepers.
Not sure which thread got the poor troll banned.

Knowing that she was already banned and getting to read through that thread quickly made me crack up, she clearly woke up under the wrong end of the bridge today.

Check the prior history. I don't think today was a rare day.

("bridge"... is that a troll thing? LOL)

No, you need to RETIRE McLame for the sake of the rest of the nation. His backstabbings of conservatives are legion and his so-called 80% rating is a lie. He is no more conservative than Billy Jeff Clinton... and a lot LESS charismatic. Either you are related to him in some way or the stuff you’re smoking is interfering with your thought processes.

Neil... read this clown’s posts praising McLame... But take a double dose of valium first.
