Our headline is the bad news. The good news is that McCain told Ann Curry on the Today Show that a second shot at the presidency was not in the works. Understand that millions of conservatives stayed away from the polls in 2008 because of McCain. He lost by only 7% of the popular vote and would not have fared as well as he did if it had not been for Sarah Palin. If he ran again, Obama would win. It is that simple. Millions of conservatives would, again, stay away from the polls, believing that nothing important would get done or undone during a McCain presidency. I have not forgotten that during the 2008 campaign, he talked of having Al Gore work as an adviser to the president as a climate consultant !! McCain would not reverse ObamaCare and would not stand up to the Marxist Liberals in our congress, believing that "moving along," legislatively, is more important that taking a stand on key Constitutional issues.
He is the poster-boy for everything that is or was wrong with the GOP, he and Lindsey Graham. "Never Again !!!" must be the motto for the New GOP. McCain is no fan of the right wing and he has voiced his opinion on this point many times in the past. He lost the nomination to George Bush in 2004 precisely because of his rhetorical assault on conservatives within the GOP. While he changed his tune in 2008, millions knew this was purely cosmetic. He is not as liberal as a Chuckie Schumer, of course, but he is so far Left that he cannot help the GOP make a stand for a return to States Rights and Constitutional Principles.
We are glad that he sees the light. He does not have one chance in 800 hells of getting the nomination and the knows it. Thanks for saving us the embarrassment of losing another election.
