   I would agree, but McCain's Senatorial terms does not expire until 2010.   
   Since he does not have to resign to run for President, we are saddled   
   with him until then.   
      
   Now, that said, if McCain does get the GOP nomination and does lose big,   
   would he try to run again for the Senate? Even if he did, would Janet   
   have a good chance to beat him? I think so. How humiliating for one of   
   Arizona's brightest national lights.
