One term only?

Thursday, 15 May 2008


Rich Lowry at The Corner thinks that McCain might be heading for a single-term.  In John McCain's words:
I won't spend one hour of my presidency worrying more about my re-election than keeping my promises to the American people. There is a time to campaign, and a time to govern. If I'm elected President, the era of the permanent campaign will end. The era of problem solving will begin.
It would be quite refreshing, but I think it's got as many cons as it does pros. Like Lowry says, at the very least it puts an accent on the age issue.
