I didn’t decide to run for President to start a national crusade for political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize. … In truth, I’d had the ambition for a long time.
Senator John McCain, Worth the Fighting For, 2002
