John McCain is apparently fielding a spate of e-mails and letters and phone calls from people who want him to run for president again.
But, the Republican senator from Arizona told the Arizona Republic that hes not really considering another run for the White House:
Particularly since the shutdown, Ive had a spate of e-mails and letters and phone calls saying, Run for president again, McCain told The Arizona Republic. As you know, Im seriously thinking about running for re-election to the Senate. But I think, in the words of the late Morris K. Udall, as far as my presidential ambitions are concerned, The people have spoken the bastards.

I can assure you, I dont see it, said McCain, who will turn 80 in 2016. Its not on my radar.
On Monday, conservative blogger Allahpundit, of Hot Air, reacted by laughing off the idea that McCain is inundated with Run, John, run! requests....

Trial balloon.
Just a few days ago, Romney hinted that ‘some’ were wanting him to consider another run.

I think his memory is fading.
Tens is not the same as tons.
Well it could be entirely accurate, how many tons and just how fat are his supporters?

Send tweets/e-mails, etc to Juan begging him to run against Christie.
Christie is the "tons" of people that want him to run.

Tons of people want you to run for president in 16? Really? Reminds me of:
"I spent the summer hunting wolverines in Alaska. I shot like FIFTY of them..."

Amazing how quickly the mind can become confused. Apparently he still thinks this is 2007 and it’s his turn to shepherd the GOP faithful to victory over the VC.
For those of you born in the past 20 years google it.

It would not take that many real fat people to equate to “tons of people”.

He’s right.
The entire Democratic Party wants him nominated....

At 150lbs./person, that’s about 30 people to get to 4500lbs. That’s about 2 or so “tons” of people.

No, Senator. Tons of people want your running mate to run for president. The other thing is pretty much just you.
