At a White House meeting Oct. 6, Senator John McCain of Arizona urged President Barack Obama to make a decision about additional troops in Afghanistan quickly and not make it a "leisurely process." Senator Carl Levin of Michigan noted that it had taken Obama's predecessor George W. Bush three months to order a surge in Iraq. Then Obama spoke. "John, I can assure you this won't be leisurely, as nobody feels more urgency to get this right than I do."
Is McCain about to re-enter the fray? If so, it is a journey that has been nearly a year in the making. Since his defeat by Obama 11 months ago, McCain has spent much of his time in a self-imposed exile.

He left the farm long before the election. Plus, he’s so old he won’t have enough time to reclaim anything.

“McCain has spent much of his time in a self-imposed exile”
He needs to spend the rest of his time in voter-imposed retirement. This man is no successor to Barry Goldwater.

John; how about you host a reality show that depicts you and Cindy touring America trying to find a date for Meghan?

He is lying low because he is getting ready for reelection. Most of us here in AZ can’t stand him and I think he is trying to make peace. What a jerkwad!

Place your bets folks.
When it becomes abundantly clear to John McCain that he will lose in the GOP primary...
Will he...
(1) Jump ship and claim to be an "Independent" (aka covert Democrat) like Jim Jeffords...? Or...
(2) Will John McCain do the full Arlen, join with his Democrat simpaticos, get to work on throwing open that pesky southern border, and no longer have to be a cross-dressing Republican spinning that "foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution" yarn?
