McCain has decided to seek re-election to the Senate, or so he says in his new Human Events ad. That whole Country First PAC thing gave it away, so he doesn’t have to tell me twice.
Truly, I was starting to grow concerned about that whole change of heart where he attacked his fellow Democrats during the stimulus debate, but I see now. He was just paving the way to a cynical donation request, and nearly two years out of his election, no less. I was beginning to wonder if he had turned his back on the whole self-aggrandizing thing, but I should have known better. My world is made right once again.
And yes, Senator, your fellow Democrats will be trying to unseat you. They’re really particular about having that letter “R” after your name. It won’t matter to them that you’re the best inside man they’ve ever had, or that you’re a stalwart foe of their enemies, the Republicans and conservatives alike. You’re in their way, or at least, that’s the way they’ll see it.
Not to worry though. I’ll be more than happy to make as many maverick supporters for you as I can. I’m sure I couldn’t do half the job you did in making them for yourself in 2008, but I will bring my poor skills to your aid regardless. And I’ll start today by not pointing anyone at your donation site, in proper maverick supporter fashion.
