RE “It is sometimes suggested that the initiative was a deliberate attempt to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime. “

Doesn't seem like McCain has to do much to flush you out Rabs :)

It is hard to imagine that McCain thinks he could run again. He thinks he almost won, a view shared by many republicans and freepers here. He was a crappy candidate the first time. He already had the grandpa look. McCain now realizes that 2012 is the big opportunity for republicans (possibly), not 2009. 2009 was the suckers opportunity. Remember all the republicans said that Obama couldn't possibly win in 2009? till he won election day.
