McCain to formally announce in April

Posted by: Glenn Blain - Posted in Uncategorized on Feb 28, 2007

There’s little doubt that Sen. John McCain is a candidate for president, but he will make it official in April.

The Arizona Republican revealed the timing of the long-expected announcement to talk show host David Letterman during a taping for his show. The segment is to air later tonight.

“I am announcing that I will be a candidate for president of the United States,â€? McCain said on the “Late Show” segment, according to a story by the Associated Press.

  1. THE CONSULTANT

    big surprise!..the really bigger surprise is that
    giuliani has opened up a huge lead even among
    right wing evangelicals…and John McCains age
    when he would assume office if he were elected would
    be 72,,,that is an issue for him as well…I originally
    thought McCain would be the best chance the Republicans
    had of reataining the white house…I however now beleive
    that his intransient position on the war is now hurting
    him and will hurt him in the general..so its looks like
    Rudy is my guy

    Contrary to the rosy picture presented by the liberal media, Rudy is political roadkill. Between his left-wing social positions, and his embarrassing personal baggage (cheating on his wife with his City Hall aid; messy divorces; Bernie Kerik, etc.), the conservative base of the GOP will never support him in the primaries. Of course he appeals to loopy Rockefeller Republicans in New York, and to Democrats in the media who like his social stances. Fortunately, New York Republicans have practically no say in national politics. Liberal northeastern Republicans have made themselves irrelevant. Come to think of it, they pretty much always were when it came to the national stage.

    Shouldn’t somebody who styles himself as a “consultant” know the word “intransigent”?

    Or how to use punctuation?
