Sen. John McCain, considered the front-runner for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, intends to launch an exploratory committee next week, party officials said Friday.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting a public statement from the four-term Arizona senator.
McCain, the Republican maverick who unsuccessfully sought his party's nomination in 2000, already has opened a bank account for the committee, officials said.
"The senator has made no decision about running for president," said Eileen McMenamin, a McCain spokeswoman.
Aides to McCain say the senator will discuss a presidential bid with his family over the end-of-the-year Christmas holiday.
McCain, 70, is a former U.S. Navy pilot who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam. He was elected to the Senate in 1986, and served in the House of Representatives for four years before that.

LOL, thats a good question.
The MSM again reporting what they want to happen, as opposed to what is actually going on.
nobobody wants this guy running. how many times does he have to lose for them to get this through their collective heads?
"He's got my vote."
That's crazy talk.
all of the above?
Dare you.
I'll support McCain, although I would prefer Giuliani. I suspect McCain is too old for a first run at the presidency, and he has an awful lot of personal issues.
At 70 years old he better have a good running mate.
If they say it enough the sheeple will believe them. And after this election; I'm convinced the majority of voters ARE SHEEPLE.
A Twice.
I'll never vote for that sob, unless it's a vote for retirement.
I'll vote for him right after Hillary! changes her affiliation to the Republican party.
IOW, when they have to sprinkle rock salt where hell froze over.
I think they are both nasty slugs that need salt poured on them...
I'll pass. Unless of course he wants to pay me $50/hour to pick lettuce.
See tag.
For some reason nowadays, I don't think voters would put as much stock on person's age like they did when Bob Dole was running for President
Barack Bandana is the future, McStain is the past.
I'm not endorsing McCain in any way, shape or form, but I do think it would be sorta fun to watch the MSM morph him from "Straight-talkin' Maverick John McCain" into "Loony-tunes, Anti-Choice, Crypto-Fascist, Eeevil Republican John 'Keating' McCain".
Our local rag had a special in the "living" section on
O-damn-bama, made me sick...
If conservatives abandonded the Party and allowed the GOP to get killed by the Dems this election... WHAT oes this Mclame idiot think will happen in 2008????
He will NEVER be voted for by most conservatives.
