Could McCain's travels be precursor to presidential bid?
Will he or won't he? The debate continues about the presidential ambitions of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. On Tuesday you can ask him yourself when McCain chats with readers and autographs copies of his new book, Character Is Destiny, at Poisoned Pen Central at 215 E. Grant St. in Phoenix. The event goes from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The book is the fourth collaboration between McCain and Mark Salter, McCain's chief of staff. It tells stories of historical figures ranging from Mother Teresa to former Arizona Cardinals football player Pat Tillman. McCain has been crisscrossing the country in recent weeks, combining book signings with political stops in some states that pop up early in the 2008 GOP presidential primary race. Last week, McCain reopened his Straight Talk America political action committee, raising hopes for a 2008 presidential run.
