HANOI, Vietnam -- Sen. John McCain paid a quiet visit to the "Hanoi Hilton" prison where he was held for more than five years during the Vietnam War on Wednesday, making a few deadpan remarks as he made his way through dark corridors and past musty cells.
McCain allowed reporters to follow him while he escorted Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina through the prison.

Call me cynical, but I think the reason he let the press follow is for stories and photos to point to when he plans to run again for 2012.

McCain is running for reelection in 2010 and will face a primary challenge. Time to dust off the resume and play the POW card. Maverick McCain must be defeated.

I think he’s too old to be considered for another crack at the presidency by that point...
To: theDentist
plans to run again for 2012Not going to happen. The only election he has to worry about is his senate seat 2010.

Yes, but remember, in his mind he still thinks that given another couple weeks he’d have won. He knows that after 3 months of Obama, he’s appealing to a lot more people. The lesser evil, as it were.

God Bless John McCain for his service to our country.
... doesn't entitle him to be senator-for-life though...

From American Thinker, September 16, 2008
Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield
"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' "

Lindsay probably got goosebumps at the thought of he and Juan in prison together.

McCain allowed reporters to follow him while he escorted Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina through the prison. McCain should have done this during the campaign. Most of the clueless kids who voted for Obama didn't even know that McCain is a veteran. Obama is going to ruin this country....IMO
To: theDentist
If the GOP (and crossover independents) were crazy enough to give him the nomination in 2008, they are crazy enough to do it again in 2012. I feel sure Obama and Soros would be laughing hysterically at the thought of repeat of the 2008 contest.

I conclude that Lindsay has man-love for John McCain
the stockholm-syndrome afflicted John McCain’s posturing and press entourage in Vietnam puts him in the same league as John Kerry, another man whose future is behind him

On a slightly-related note, the Hilton chain actually has a property in Hanoi; they just don't call it the "Hanoi Hilton".
