Does McCain have something to learn from Biden?

As reported by the NY Times: McCain Officially Enters Presidential Race

But wait, hasn’t McCain been driving around in his Straight-Talk bus for the last few months? Are we supposed to be excited about this announcement? I mean, since he went all-in on the Iraq War, he’s been really trying to be that candidate who you vote for if you want to stay at war for the next Presidential Term. Well, take a look at his fundraising numbers and you’ll see how much his one-dimensional campaign/gamble on being the War Candidate is paying off. I’d like to believe that re-announcing his intent to run isn’t going to help. Maybe he should let that plan cool off for a little while because this latest announcement reeks of desperation, especially in the face of the Dem’s latest attacks on Gonzo-Rice-Cheney.

Makes you kind of wonder when Joe Biden is going to remind us that he is a candidate after going into hiding following his truly idiotic characterization of Obama as “African-American,” “clean,” “nice,” and “articulate.” I don’t mean to dredge up old dirt, but man if that didn’t shoot himself in the foot on the same week he announced his intent to run for president. Biden for the moment is totally off the board, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets back in the race when we get closer to the primaries. All I hope is McCain will stop his self-destructive campaign of Stay the Course; it just hurts to watch a guy bet everything and stay in when he’s got nothing in his hand.
