McCain hints at retirement in 2016
[THEHILL] Sen.  John MaverickMcCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... (R-Ariz.) hinted that he might be serving his last term in office, admitting that he does not want to become "one of these old guys that should've shoved off." McCain, a 27-year veteran of the Senate and former presidential candidate, made the admission while speaking about his relationship with President B.O.. "The president and I, he's in his last term, I'm probably in mine, the relationship we have had over the past three years is quite good," McCain told The Wrap in an interview. "Quite good." The 77-year-old's current term is up in 2016. When asked if this would really be his last term, McCain backtracked a bit. "Nah, I don't know," McCain said. "I was trying to make a point. I have to decide in about two years so I don't have to make a decision. I don't want to be one of these old guys that should've shoved off." Whoops. Too late. Yeah, we wouldn't want that... McCain made the initial remark about retirement off-the-cuff to a group of Obama supporters who interrupted the interview as he was arguing that television providers should unbundle their channels.
