"Arizona Sen. John McCain will declare a bid Tuesday for a sixth six-year term, an aide confirmed early Tuesday morning.

The announcement, set for 2:30 p.m. ET at an Arizona Chamber of Commerce event in Phoenix, will end speculation that the 2008 GOP presidential nominee might retire after his term expires at the end of 2016.

[snip]

He also spent late 2014 and early 2015 working to install allies and oust critics in key local Republican posts who have created headaches for him heading into the new election cycle.

McCain was elected to his fifth term in 2010 after a bruising primary in which he was forced to spend $20 million against little-known J.D. Hayworth, a former congressman. Much of his funding in that race was left over from his failed 2008 presidential bid, and his opponents are hopeful that he’s not as well-financed for a potentially expensive primary fight this time.

McCain, 78, raised $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 and will report $3.6 million on hand in his Federal Election Commission report."

Oh, goody!

I could criticize the good people of Arizona for electing Juan McClown. And re-electing again. And again. And again.

Yes, I could criticize them.

But then I reside in the People's Republik of Nuevo York. You know - a place where Fidel Castro could hop a plane to Albany, slap a "D" after his name, and stand a good chance of being elected governor.

So I really cannot criticize anyone . . .

So, this attack ad already running against Rand Paul is funded by a group that was formed to support McCain's campaign several years back.

"Little-known?" Who writes this garbage?

I think it is great that this fine hard core Conservative is running again even though he is well into his dotage. After all, he has a 49% Conservative rating at Heritage. That's just a little lower than Harry Reid. What more can we ask for?

"into his dotage"? His dotage is but a misty distant image in his rearview mirror by now.
