I've liked McCain, I've hated McCain. But he's been in there more than long enough, IMO, as well as SO many others. Which of course reminds me again, someone needs to finally put term limits in place. But this guy is going to be in office until he drops on the floor. I think (2) - four year terms, 8 years in total, should be more than enough.

A conservative challenger to Arizona Sen. John McCain says the time has come to retire the five-term Republican both for his “dismal record” and simply for being in Washington too long.
Former GOP state Sen. Dr. Kelli Ward is mounting a spirited challenge to McCain leading up to Arizona’s U.S. Senate primary on August 30, just one day after McCain turns 80 years old. Polling is sparse on this race and Ward says it’s close but it’s anybody’s guess who is ahead.
“The polling is very difficult because there are so many new voters. There are people who are inspired to vote because of the changes at the presidential level,” said Ward. “I think it’s neck-and-neck. I think it’s very telling that here now 10-11 days before the primary, John McCain is now suddenly scrambling to buy ads to attack me himself, not just through his SuperPAC, but his own campaign,” said Ward.
While at least one poll over the past couple of months suggest a race within the margin of error, a new poll conducted by the firm of a former Arizona Republican Party official has McCain comfortably ahead, 50-29 percent.
