McCain: Tons of people want me to run for president again (yeah, okay)

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 he’s not really considering another run for the White House:

“‘Particularly since the shutdown, I’ve had a spate of e-mails and letters and phone calls saying, ‘Run for president again,” McCain told The Arizona Republic. ‘As you know, I’m 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 don’t see it,’ said McCain, who will turn 80 in 2016. ‘It’s 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....

So just Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell, right?

Sounds like Obama For America and the RNC are cranking up the phone banks.

What does he mean AGAIN? He didn’t run the first time. Just about all he did was to keep telling us that His opponent was a good person who we did not have to fear. McCain the islamoNazi enabler maybe. But McCain a candidate? No way, Jose. Get thee to a nursing home, preferably one with a good mental ward.

Looks like the Hillary 2016 campaign has kicked off.

spate Top Home > Library > Literature & Language > Dictionary (spāt) pronunciation n. A sudden flood, rush, or outpouring: "It issues a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians" (Virginia Woolf). Chiefly British. A flash flood. A freshet resulting from a downpour of rain or melting of snow. A sudden heavy fall of rain.

Yo McLame, you ain't British!

Don't I remember an Obama campaign ad that said McCain doesn't know how to use a computer and doesn't know what email is?

In response to the attack McCain reminded us that Obama is a good man who we would be lucky to have as president.

“Tons of people?”

Really, John? Well, take until 2024 to think about it, then get back to us.

At approx 175 lb each, that would be about 12 people per ton.
Since ‘tons’ is plural we’ll double it.

25 people want McCain to run for president.

I’ll bet his Senate staff is larger than that.
