From the time in the last prez campaign that McCain rudely snapped at Maria Shriver, reporter, who was attempting to ask him a question while he walked, I knew this guy was definitely NOT presidential material. Just what we need, a president who would react in a knee-jerk fashion to Putin or another leader's statements by dropping nukes! No. Sorry John. You're never going to be president. If you can't control yourself, how can America expect you to run the country?CNN BlogJuly 18, 2007
McCain snaps: 'Finished' discussing campaignWASHINGTON (CNN) — A frustrated Sen. John McCain snapped Wednesday when asked by CNN about his troubled presidential campaign and vowed he would no longer answer questions on that topic.
“I’m not going to talk about my campaign anymore," McCain said in a sharp tone. "I’m finished with talking about it. I’ve talked about it for two weeks. I will not discuss it or any aspect of it. Thank you."
McCain’s patience may have been worn thin by his lack of sleep as he managed the Defense authorization bill through the wee hours of the morning.
The question that triggered McCain’s response was whether or not he was going to keep a scheduled meeting Wednesday with his congressional supporters to explain why his campaign is not in dire condition. Eileen McMenamin, the Arizona Republican's spokeswoman, declined to elaborate whether McCain would no longer talk – ever – about his campaign or just not talk about it while in the Capitol. But she did say he remains a candidate and will be back on the trail next week – with reporters in tow.
