McCain's Announcement

From the campaign:

U.S. Senator John McCain's campaign today announced that the Arizona Senator will announce his candidacy for President of the United States on April 25th in New Hampshire. Senator McCain will then travel to South Carolina on April 26th, Iowa on April 27th, concluding in Nevada and Arizona on April 28th.
Meanwhile, McCain, sings "bomb bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys' Barbara Ann. This Kos diarist was not amused. For what it's worth, I think that hawks have enough problems already in trying to make any case for potential preemtive military action in Iran, so it's not helpful for McCain to be making a joke out of it. I wonder if this changes Peggy Noonan's analysis of the stature gap.
