I SAW THE BEST MINDS OF MY GENERATION, MUTTERING, "HE'S NOT RUNNING....":

Eyeing ’08, Sen. McCain courts K St. (Alexander Bolton, 3/08/06, The Hill)

Good-government advocacy groups working on lobbying reform say their longtime ally Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has played a smaller leadership role on the issue than they had expected.

McCain’s lower-than-hoped-for profile on the sensitive subject coincides with what prominent lobbyists describe as a quiet effort by his political team to court inside-the-Beltway donors and fundraisers in preparation for a possible 2008 presidential run.

Great! that make me feel better for 2008. He's a total hypocrite. For awhile there I worried about him.

Never trust anyone who isn't a hypocrite, because they're a sociopath.

And for the record: He's not running.

OJ, give David a break. Maybe he's seen McCain's medical records.

. . . or psychiatric records.

David: I'd put more money on Hillary's not running. Why? Because she knows she would be crushed by McCain, and maybe she & Bill figure that the loony left will be chastened by another presidential loss or two.

b - Maybe no one will run, except Newt Gingrich and Cindy Sheehan.

pj:

Was Arianna Huffington born in this country? If so, she might run, too.

Ms A. is Greek and with any luck none of the above will be on the presidential ballot in '08.
