Sealing his own fate

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is skipping his fourth conservative gathering in two months, declining an invitation to speak at the Club for Growth’s winter meeting despite his fellow 2008 hopefuls’ commitments to appear.

McCain raised eyebrows in Republican circles and among his own supporters last month by turning down a chance to address the Conservative Political Action Conference, which bills itself as the nation’s largest conservative conference. McCain was also a no-show at the Heritage Foundation’s members’ retreat this year and at the National Review Institute’s conservative summit.

Why bother running then Senator?
You aren't even showing up for the gatherings that would help you. Or put to light your horrible record.

You are a hero Mr. McCain. An American hero. But your stances alone wont get you elected. These actions just seal that fate. There wont have to be a campaign against you. You are doing that alone.
