John McCain, AP – Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee member Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. asks when lawmakers … Sun Jun 21, 11:48 am ET WASHINGTON – Sen. John McCain says his opponent in last year's presidential campaign, Barack Obama, has "done well" in his first five months in the White House. The Arizona Republican says that using a legislative scorecard to judge the presidency so far, Obama has achieved all his legislative goals. On the down side, McCain says that Obama's successes in Congress have come with little or no Republican support. McCain also is critical of Obama for setting a date for closing the detainee facility at Guantanamo Bay without first developing a comprehensive plan for what to do with its prisoners. And the Arizona senator says Obama should speak out more in support of protesters in Iran. McCain appeared Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

I don't think, McCain will ever run again. He get his butt whooped in the last election. Every time the republicans has nominated a moderate, they lose the general election. President Ford loses to Carter. Due to the fact, Nixon was impeached. In 1980, Reagan slaughters, than President Carter. Some people say, Dukakis lost the '88 election. When Dukakis posed for a picture of him in a tank. thm-a01.yimg.com/image/c09a131d9eed46ba President George H. W. Bush lost to Clinton. Bob Dole lost to "Slick Willie." G. W. Bush wins the 2000 election, due to Clinton's impeachment. Than McCain losses to President Obama. Of course, the media is still in the tank for Obama. Yeah! You can say, its my weekly shot at the media. Sorry Ark! I couldn't resist!!
