Squelching the rumor

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today denied rumors that he is considering a run for the Presidency.

The Senator, best known for taking principled stands against Republicans, dismissed the reports as "baseless speculation."

No reporters attended the McCain press conference, as they were all covering the "Obama walks on water" event on the Sea of Galilee.
