(AP) – Sen. John McCain, whose presidential bid was snuffed out two weeks ago by Barack Obama, is setting up a political action committee as a first step in running for a fifth term in the Senate. A McCain spokesperson said the 72-year-old Arizona senator decided with his senior advisers tonight to set up the fundraising PAC. The spokesperson spoke anonymously because the decision had not yet been made public.
