Reply #22: He was good (as usual) on Iraq [View All]

he got on my nerves when he said that all R candidates are his friends or something like that... maybe there was a subtle sarcasm there that I did not get or I am just too picky :-). Did he say he is "getting out of politics" or just that he does not intend to run for anything next year? Not the same thing. And I definitely agree with your last point, by setting himself as a lame duck, the impact of what he says and his ability to make a difference with some of his less esteemed of his colleagues has decreased significantly, a fact that I am sure he is fully aware of. Unless of course they think that there may be something else of importance possibly looming in his future... speculation again.
