McCain quips about presidential bids by Arizonans

John McCain says he intends to reverse a trend that other politicians from Arizona have faced in running for president.

The four Arizonans who have made presidential bids _ Sen. Barry Goldwater in 1964, Rep. Morris K. Udall in 1976, former Gov. Bruce Babbitt in 1988 and McCain in 2000 _ either lost in the general election or never won their party nominations.

'Arizona may be the only state in America where mothers don't tell their children that some day they can grow up and be president,' McCain quipped Sunday.
