#1 I've been ready for John to retire since he held his tongue while the media eviscerated G. W. Bush over the "torture" at Abu Ghraib where captive Iraqis had their genitals laughed at and were forced to stand on boxes naked. The good Senator knows exactly what torture is and he could have shut them the hell up right then. He had a bone to pick with Bush, so he let them go on and on. He lost my respect that day.

#6 Only 21 percent now believe that John McCain deserves another six year term

They had a primary choice just the last time around. He didn't deserve the last reelection. The Trunks of AZ bought the BS as he danced and lied his way to retain the seat. It's their problem.

#8 Could this have anything to do with his collapse?

Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain got off to an awkward start in 2006, when McCain believed that Obama had broken a promise to work with him on ethics reform. The tensions escalated in 2008 during the pairs presidential face-off, and relations stayed frosty through McCains 2010 reelection campaign and his partys marked swerve to the right.

But then Obama was reelected, and the landscape for both men shifted. Now, after years at cross-purposes, they both have history on their minds. Obama, with big plans on immigration, guns, universal pre-K, trade deals, tax reform, entitlements, and the implementation of his health care law, is eyeing his legacy. McCain, who is 76 and may or may not run for reelection in 2016, says repeatedly these days that he wants to get things done and has reverted to his role as a bipartisan deal-maker.

McCain has his own To Do list, and its not identical to Obamas (heightened involvement in Syria, anyone?). But already, several major areas of overlap have emerged, on immigration, guns, tax reform, and entitlements. Climate change, once one of McCains legislative passions, could also resurface as a mutual interest. So while theres certainly no Obama-McCain bromance, there is a functional relationship that gets both men closer to their policy goals.

#9 Here is hoping he pulls an Arlen Spector and runs as democrat. And loses.
