He was supposed to do it yesterday. If he did then he can't run with Kerry. If he didnt he only has 5 days left to do it.

1. Yes he did.
CNN BSer's said this about puts an end to all the speculation about him running for VP with Kerry because Arizona law stipulates that you can't run for 2 offices at the same time.

As much as I like McCain, I'm glad to see him back in the Senate. He's one of a very few Pubs there who makes sense most of the time, and tries to keep the nuts in line.

3. I saw Zinni on Debra Norville yesterday
& he said that Bill Clinton was a really smart guy. He said whenever he briefed him, Clinton got it right away, because he was a quick study.

He did not assess Shrub s intelligence.

4. Of course he can run with Kerry
Unless there has been a law passed since 1988, there is nothing stopping McCain from running for the Senate and VP.

Lloyd Bentson did in 1988.

5. I was only repeating what the CNN reporter said.
He said this was an Arizona law. I don't know if it matters, but Bentson wasn't from Az.
