McCain's Surprise

John McCain's Presidential bid for next year is certainly no shocker, but his pre-announcement announcement was made on the Late Show with David Letterman. He said that his official announcement will come sometime in April. With all the news surrounding McCain's poll numbers and his increasingly bulky staff that is preparing for the run, we all knew that he is going to officially jump in at some point.

So what is the big deal about this declaration that surprisingly got a huge ovation from the Late Show crowd? I wonder if it has anything to do with his slumping poll numbers and the hostility he faces from the Christian right? When in doubt, always do something 'shocking' on late night TV for a quick bounce. It always works for politicians, unless George Bush would show up to promote another horrific and constitutional-shredding policies. I seriously doubt we'll see him on the late night talk show circuit anytime soon.
