Will He Stay or Will He Go?

The New York Times (register)

The last time a senior Republican senator secured his party’s presidential nomination it wasn’t long before he concluded it would be better to become an ex-senator for the White House stretch run.

Bob Dole walked out of the Senate chamber and away from his job as majority leader in June 1996, encouraged by many advisers and Republican colleagues to cut his ties to an institution that was severely complicating his race and consuming time that could otherwise be spent campaigning.

The Dole precedent has raised some suggestions that Senator John McCain might do the same and give up his Senate seat to devote full-time to his presidential bid, avoiding the political potholes Senate Democrats are certain to place in his way in the coming months.
