Sen. John McCain says Sarah Palin has not solicited his advice on running for president - but he says she would make a "very formidable" challenger if she did jump into the race.
McCain, speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," declined to say whether or not he thought Palin, his running mate in the 2008 election, should run.
"That's a decision that is so personal," he noted.
But, he said, "I think she would be very formidable."
The former presidential candidate pointed out that it was still early in the race, and that "a lot of things are going to happen" that will likely change the game.
"I remind you that in 2007 at this time, I was done, if you might recall," he told CBS' Norah O'Donnell. "My campaign was doomed. A lot of things are going to happen. I hear, for example, maybe Rudy Giuliani is going to get in the race. I think he would be very formidable."

My hope also, but he seems to like being around crowds.
As always... FUJM
Hey John, its them tricksy Hobbitses... very tricksy.
Palin was the only ray of hope in my (political)world for all of 2008. I would love to see her elected President. I voted for McCain Palin but he's always had that pesky albatross hanging around his neck. I don't think his endorsement is a positive for anyone.
Gollum McCain is going to try and interfere with Palin’s campaign..
