WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. John McCain is imploring his Republican colleagues to drop partisan demands and let the popular president get to work.
The Arizona Republican made his first comments on the Senate floor since his rival, President Barack Obama, was sworn into office.
He said the nation has come together in a way that it has not for some time. McCain was speaking in defense of Hillary Rodham Clinton's appointment as the next secretary of State. Senate leaders had planned to confirm her by unanimous consent on Tuesday, but Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn objected because of concerns raised about foreign contributions to her husband's charity.
A roll call vote was planned for late Wednesday.

What a moron.
I suggest everyone on this board do the same thing, this bending over for Obama while he pulls an FDR after Hoover on us has to stop.
McCain is a
brown noser.
Looks like the Obama family got their new puppy.
Why o why won’t that pitiful petty excuse of a Republican just do all of us a favor and go away?!
I have yet to hear of one coming forward... and Flake certainly blew any chance he would have with his “Three DUI’s and Deport” bill he is introducing.
How did Slate let that one get by the editor? (grins)
Not “was”, “IS”
YES!!!!!!!!! and he is running — people need to understand he controls the AZ Chamber members and they control the AZ GOP... this is why he always runs unopposed.
McCain is trying to position himself as the defacto leader of the opposition.
How do we send a “not in my name” or “McCain, sit down and shut up” meassage?
Arizona may be stuck with him but he does NOT represent the rest of us.
I have seen very little from the repubs to be impressed about lately. Elected officials can keep fighting or try to get to work. The only thing the repubs can do is offer a better vision than the dems for what needs to be done and why. I have yet to see anything on the economic front that people can see as a real alternative.
Don't know but there is always recall. The Republican party in AZ should get right on it. As a matter of fact, if recall was the new effort to take back the Senate, I think we could.
“He said the nation has come together in a way that it has not for some time”
I don’t really see that myself.
Some say he picked Nappy as a favor to McCain who was polling horribly vs Nappy for 2010.
McCain is the very reason I have been able to stomach the fact that Darth Bama was elected. It was lose-lose either way. Sarah Palin was my only reason for showing up at the poll.
Here’s to Palin in 2012
His shorts are starched.
As far as “Hpw dumb” goes, he is very close to matching in dumbness his idol Jimm Carter.
Could it be that McCain, a pathological liar, ran originally just to assure Hillary became POTUS?
The AZ GOP is in McCain’s pocket... any recall would have to come from the citizens of AZ outside the GOP.
J D Hayworth for Senate !!!!
My Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn ihas what it takes
when it comes to nads.
I must send him another mail of thanks.
