McCain announces he will run again in 2010

John McCain has disappeared from the national stage in the past weeks. He recently announced that he is planning to run for senate again in 2010.  Most of the news concerning McCain has been analysis and observations about his loss. McCain has continued to stand by his pick of Governor Palin as his running mate saying that he picked her for her qualifications.

McCain and the Hard Road Ahead

With the devastating loss over two weeks ago, John McCain has to shift gears and have a different mindset going back to the Senate. After almost two years of campaigning, McCain aides say that he is ready and happy to go back to the lower profile job in congress. His ability to maintain a low profile will be hard, especially since there are many Republicans that think the McCain campaign did not properly represent the party or was completely incompetent. With McCain's ability to "reach across the aisle", and Obama's promise to the American people to leave the partisan politics of old, we may see more of McCain in the future, possibly working for Obama.

Tonight Show tommorrow

On Tuesday, McCain will visit the Tonight Show in the hopes that Jay Leno will not go as hard on him as did David Letterman a few weeks ago. Too bad for McCain. The election would have inevitably been much closer had he nominated VP someone with a trace of brain cells. As for his future political career, McCain's maverickness will not allow him to retire from politics until death. According to correspondent David Kirkpatrick from NPR, "McCain is one of the most unpredictable politicians out there... if he thought he was young at 72 to run for the presidency,who knows what he'll do next". Wouldn't it be something if Obama selected McCain as one of his cabinet members?

McCain in hiding

After much searching on CNN and the Washington Post, I could not find scrap of what McCain has been doing the past two days. With the dismal defeat Tuesday, McCain is most likely sheltering himself from media attention, hiding in his house in Arizona. Shortly following the major Presidential defeat, prominent Republicans are already contending for the position chairman of the RNC (Republican National Committee); Al Franken is closing in on Minnesota; Obama will meet the Bushes in a couple of days. More on McCain next weekend.

If you have not heard already McCain has lost his bid for the presidency. McCain has since congratulated Obama on his victory. John McCain still has 2 years left as a senator for Arizona and he will finish out his remaining years in the United States senate. 

SNL

John McCain absolutely stunk on SNL. Cindy, on the other hand, was hilarious; especially when she talked about the fine gold necklaces.
