Jim Lehrer: Finally, for the record, you have not lost your desire to be President of the United States, have you?

John McCain: Certainly it's been put in deep cold storage.

Lehrer: But you haven't lost it.

McCain: Well, look, in 2004 I expect to be campaigning for the re-election of President George W. Bush, and by 2008, I think I might be ready to go down to the old soldier's home and await the cavalry charge there.

1. Well, he got that right.

5. Fantastic find! Send it to Keith!!!

:thumbsup: :hi: :thumbsup:

I finally agree with something McCain said.

[Alexander]

6. Done.

[hisownpetard]

7. Great. I think that quote is just priceless.

Maybe Keith will put it on tomorrow!!


:hi:

9. The best part is, McCain's saying it, so it's not like we're attacking his age.

He's doing all the work for us.

[hisownpetard]

12. I know! That's the icing on the old-age cake!

[Shine]

13. Except in the surreal world of Team McCain........they'd make it look

as if Obama was ATTACKING him for being too old. :eyes:

[ingac70]

8. Obama needs to make a commercial with this. n/t

[Shine]

10. Yeah, seriously.

but then he'd probably get accused of "age-ism". :eyes:

[hisownpetard]

14. No - McCain would have to be accused of 'age-ism,' because he said it!

[Shine]

15. Yeah, but you know how Team McCain would probably spin it:

They'd try to come off as the VICTIMS of a nasty age-ism smear b/c Team Obama has the audacity to bring it up, in the first place. :eyes:

I mean the surreal negative shit is just beginning.

[hisownpetard]

16. Obama doesn't have to say a word. Just show the clip!

[Shine]

17. I admit it could be very effective if handled well

I'd love to see it out there and I'm glad it's been sent to Keith.

[Alexander]

19. I think it could be devastating.

[PurityOfEssence]

11. Great: pick on old folks; that's gonna win friends and influence people...

It may be funny to some, but it's mean and it pisses off lots of people.

[Alexander]

18. Don't blame me, blame McCain. He's the one who said it.

:shrug:

[hisownpetard]

20. Yup. That's the beauty of it.
