The RINO McCain is in New Hampshire now campaigning for Kelly Ayotte, who is running for Senator from that state.
According to the Nashua Telegraph, he's also co-hosting a town hall with Ms. Ayotte.
The Boston Globe notes that the town hall meeting was
"reminiscent of those he held during his two presidential campaigns."
Fox News also reports that
McCain did over 100 townhall meetings leading up to the crucial "First in the Nation" New Hampshire Presidential Primary and won, once again becoming the GOP frontrunner.
So, my question for my fellow FReepers is, McCain's 2010 re-election race with J.D. aside, what happens if McCain wins in 2010 and then makes a power play to take the 2012 GOP nomination against Obama? What will you do? Whom will you support?
Even worse: what if McCain triangulates and runs alongside Romney?
Has Hayworth really got a chance? I haven’t seen any polling data.
Naa, not going to happen. Why borrow sorrow?
I can get rails and feathers, if someone else can supply the tar.
McCain has always done well in NH. Prolly just helping out with the Senate campaign.
>With regards to me: piss on Romney, piss on McCain, and piss on their buddy Obama.
Honestly, I’d rather vote for Obama who, despite being a big ****head, is predictable and to whom the American people will stand up against, rather than McCain.
My reasoning is this: Obama is poised on being a lame-duck president, especially with the mid-term elections coming up. If we get a truly conservative {note: NOT “Republican”} Congress then we, as a people, can start getting spending down. BUT, considering that historically the Congress gains more members of the opposite party (one reason I dislike the two-party system) as the President’s... it wouldn’t do to let the “Democrats” make the otherwise-nonexistent gain by electing the Democrat-disguised-as-a-Republican we all know: John McCain.
Romney, likewise, seems to be a democrat-with-an-’R.’ There’s Romney-care, there’s flip-flops on abortion on who he’s talking to...
It is ESSENTIAL that we have Representatives that actually, you know, represent the people in their districts. THAT is far more important to our nation than ‘D’ or ‘R.’
And for all the “Sarah for Pres” people out there, I disagree... I think she would be much better in the position of Attorney General than in the office of the President because of how she handled the corruption & mismanagement in Alaska which we have federal laws against...
McCain:”[Senator Obama] is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States,” he said, before adding: “If I didn’t think I would be one heck of a better president I wouldn’t be running.”
The crowd groaned with disapproval.

Let’s put it this way. McCain certainly wants to run again. But hopefully the party pros have more sense than to let him.
Although if it were up to Steele, he’d probably say, “Sure, Juan, go ahead!”
As former President George W, Bush said: “Fool me once, shame on .....you....If you fooled me you can’t get fooled again!”

If he wins in 2010, then McCain continues to be a Senator. McCain has very little base to draw upon to make a second presidential run. Conservatives don't want him in the White House, and moderates already thumbed their nose at him. McCain would not make it past Iowa in the primaries.
I would love to piss on McCain, only if he was dieing of thirst.
He’s got a chance. The polls had Hayworth even with McCain then McCain ran ads against him for a month before Hayworth was officially running in the race. McCain pulled ahead. The Primary is in late August which is over 5 months of campaigning to go. A long time in politics.
There ya go.
*Note To Self!
Send more cash to JD on payday!
If you want to get into the game then worry about stopping Mitt Romney, not this silly idea of McCain.
‘.... will McCain run again?’
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!! my head just exploded !!!!!!!!
If the Republicans have ANY clue, they will surely not have McCain as their candidate.
I doubt it. America will not accept him period.
I'd put his chances of winning at under 1%. Here is hoping he actually runs again, so we can crush him for good this time.
