McFossil: No single-term pledge

[Nonno]

Exclusive: No single-term pledge for McCain - Mike Allen and Jonathan Martin - Politico.com

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — John McCain stated unequivocally in an interview with Politico on Wednesday that he would not pledge to serve only a single four-year term, rejecting a suggestion that some allies believe would allay questions about his age and underscore his nonpartisan message of putting country first.

“No,” McCain said flatly, “I’m not considering it.”

Duh. Four years is a long time. He may or may not be able to go for a second term, but it's stupid to pledge to not go for a second term when that is so far off. Would you expect Biden to pledge to only be the VP running mate this time and then retire for the second term?

I suspect Father Time will make that decision for him.

Hillary fans should vote McCain if they wish to see her get elected in 2012.

Obama hasn't made a 1 term pledge has he?
