In an interview with Billy House John McCain has made it clear that he intends to run for the presidency in 2008.

I think I’m qualified to help make the world a better place; I’m qualified for the job.

McCain (68) gets checkups every three months for possible cases of melanoma. He’s had skin cancer before that was treated and removed but due to his age and his health there may be concerns about his ability to lead well.

Regarding Hillary McCain seemed respectful and impressed by her political power. He believes she has an excellent chance at getting the Democratic nomination in 2008 while he hopes to get his own nomination to run from the other side.

Regarding policy McCain said explicitly that he’s always fully supported Bush on Iraq and will continue to do so, so this rules out McCain’s chances of running from a non-republican platform in an attempt to garner the same support that Dean received.
