McCain Throwing In the Towel: "I'll go back to Arizona...I'll be fine"
"Oh, sure,'' Mr. McCain said. " I mean, I don't dwell on it. But, look, I've a wonderful life. I have to go back and live in Arizona, be in the United States Senate representing them, a wonderful family, daughters and sons that I'm so proud of and a life that's been blessed. I'm the luckiest guy you have ever interviewed and will ever interview. I'm the most fortunate man on earth and I thank God for it every single day.''

1. This Arizonan will be happy to let him come back if it means keeping him out of the White House.

3. About that being in the Senate thing
Is there any kind of challenger who could kick his wrinkled bony old ass back to Cindy's ranch?

I mean it is true that he is probably the most fortunate man on earth. Born into a prominent family, given all the advantages in life, married an ATM, and this is the best he could do?

But still. it's obvious that a few of the synapses have stopped clicking. Arizona deserves better.

13. He's the most fortunate man on Earth.
Maybe he could start acting like it instead of being an angry sellout.
