By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), often mentioned as a possible GOP presidential candidate in 2008, has reactivated his political action committee, known as Straight Talk America.
"He's inundated with invitations and requests from candidates at all levels of the ballot as well as state and local party committees," a McCain political adviser, John Weaver, said Wednesday.
The committee will help pay for McCain's travel when he gives speeches and allow him to contribute to candidates and party committees.
Weaver said McCain's committee was reactivated in mid-July.
McCain, who ran for president in 2000, fares well in early presidential polling among Republican voters. He dismisses questions about 2008, saying he will wait until after the 2006 election to decide about his political future.
McCain was re-elected to a six-year Senate term in 2004.
McCain originally started the PAC named after his 2000 campaign bus, the Straight Talk Express soon after suspending his presidential campaign in March 2000.
He wanted his causes to remain in public view and his political options open. The senator closed the committee in the spring of 2003, ahead of his re-election.
Other potential White House candidates for 2008 either have political action committees or are forming them. |
Hmmm. Well, McCain REVIVING his PAC
REVIVES my interest in his REFORM INSTITUTE which will no doubt be
contributing BIG MONEY to his PAC.
Could be a lot of funny money transfers here!!

He won't own up to running for POTUS in '08 yet, but one thing for sure, he won't be getting my vote. We don't need more Liberals in government.

Straight talk alright, straight from one side of his mouth to the other if not the opposite end and straight to the nearest Microphone or Camera if Schmucky Schumer didn't hog it first.  No McCain, No Way.  This guy is a pet of the left and sits up every time the MSM strokes him. If we ended up with a Capt. McQueeg vs Red Queen '08 election, we all lose. Neither of them is a statesman, administrator or true politician. They are both manipulative political egos demanding to be fed.

He will not be getting my vote either. It is funny that the Democrats think the SVPT was a Republican spin machine and funded by them.

I wouldn't trust Mr. McCain as far as I could throw him. And at my age, that ain't very far.
