"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.

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."
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 . . .
Hillary's 2016 campaign slogan: Elect Clinton in '16 - believe it or not, there's STILL some of the country that hasn't been "fundamentally changed".

"Little-known?" Who writes this garbage?
========================================================================================== By the way, I'm growing rather weary of the cheap comparisons of Obama with Neville Chamberlain. The British Prime Minister got the biggest issue of the day wrong. But no one ever doubted that he loved his country. That's why, after his eviction from Downing Street, Churchill kept him on in his ministry as Lord President of the Council, and indeed made Chamberlain part of the five-man war cabinet and had him chair it during his frequent absences.
When he [Chamberlain} died of cancer in October 1940, Churchill wept over his coffin.
So please don't insult Neville Chamberlain by comparing him to Obama. -- Mark Steyn"
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?
