A recent article on CNN.com said Senator John McCain is, “now trying to portray himself as the most attractive option for voters in November.” He has embarked on a 5 state journey telling his biographical story. He is talking about how his family has influenced and instilled certain values that he believes will shape the future. He mentions his family has taught him a sense of duty, honor, courage, sacrifice, perseverance, and leadership. Crediting most of these “accomplishments” to his father and grandfather, both four star admirals.
The article also mentions that he has already posted a campaign ad for the general election. While I like his veracity and positive attitude I believe that it is still too early to boast such confidence. I think that he might receive some negative feedback for flaunting his confidence publicly. With the democratic side still undecided I think that he should wait because I don’t believe people are ready to dive into the election in November, when there is so much attention on the Clinton/Obama race. Hopefully he can escape this and will be beneficial to his campaign.

Agreed, the more time he spends on the sideline the less trouble he can get in until the general election.
