Sen. John McCain on Tuesday became one of the highest-profile Senate Republicans to say that his party could take control of the upper chamber in the midterm elections.
In an interview on the "Imus in the Morning" show, McCain (Ariz.) criticized President Obama on national security issues and said that if Republicans win the Senate, he would become chairman of the Armed Services Committee and could further influence the debate.
"I thought the important thing is, particularly on national security issues, but other issues — I think I have a lot to contribute. If we, and I think we can, take over the Senate, I'll be chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee," McCain said. "This is a totally inexperienced president who is making decisions on national security for political reasons — and I don't take that charge lightly."

Go Do yourself RINO McLame.
If McCain was to become the leader, IMO all conservatives would be made to feel tortured on a moment by moment basis.
Ugh, just the image of that is disgusting
Vote 3rd party AZ.
The RINO may get back in the Senate. But he will never be accepted by the new blood as a leader. And if we are in the majority it will mean that there are at least 10-12 senators who do not owe there presence to the GOP establishment.
What makes him think he’s going to win the senate seat? A lot of republicans are going to vote for the democrat (of course that won’t matter to McCain since most democrats will be voting for him)
Screw U, McLame........and your fat t***ied, slut, attention ho daughter of yours too. I’m sick our ALL of you. Go away.
Of course he does. That’s why voters denied him another accomplice tonight.
I sincere;y hope GOP takes the Senate. However, I shall not be voting for Juan. I hope to see GOP Senate, and also see Juan retired in Sedona, AZ
McCain and all your progeny, just STFU.
And take Rove with you.
So did you McCain by not being a force in the Senate to get that border sealed.
Your third party crap is showing again and it stinks to the heavens.
This is a troublesome by-product of our efforts to unseat the socialists and marxists. When we win in November, we enable a power grabbing poser, to a seat of power and influence.
rab, you omitted the barf alert tag in the title.
Since there is absolutely nothing in the original article about McCain wanting to lead the Senate, would you please ask the Mod to remove that part of this thread’s title? It’s misleading and simply not true.
When Dole ran for President, He resigned. When McLame ran he held his seat. Then ran again. Here was our first sign of trouble.
Dole = Class
McLame = Ass
Is there a pool on how long it will be before McCain puts together a “gang” of fellow Senators to oppose the conservative Republicans in the Senate? I’ll take August 2011 by the latest.
