Mac Is Back

John McCain hosted his first press conference today since the presidential election. Topics included his 2010 Senate race (“I intend to run again”); Sarah Palin (“I think she has a very bright future in a leadership position in the Republican party"); and his decision not to use Jeremiah Wright against Obama ("I thought that that issue had been well ventilated"). He also said that the Republican Party needed to reclaim its old reputation for fiscal discipline if it wanted to succeed again and praised Obama's appointments to his economic team. He singled out the choice of Arizona’s governor, Janet Napolitano, to head the Department of Homeland Security as an excellent pick.
