McCain Positions to Run in ’08
While there’s nothing official, reactivating his PAC looks suspiciously like the first step:
Arizona Senator John McCain isn’t saying if he’s considering another bid for the White House in 2008. But, his political adviser admits McCain has reactivated his political action committee, called Straight Talk America.
The adviser says the committee can help offset the senator’s costs when he gives speeches and campaigns for other candidates. But, it could also be used to help generate funding if McCain does decide to run for president.
McCain says he won’t decide until after next year’s Congressional elections.
McCain’s people are keeping it low key for the moment:
“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.
