McCain ready for 2016 Senate re-election effort

U.S. Senator John McCain will point to his success in bringing important projects to Arizona and his new influence as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee as key reasons why voters should return him to Congress for a sixth term.

Arizona's senior senator said in a wide-ranging interview with The News Agency Not be Named Tuesday that he's not taking a primary challenge from Republican state Senator Kelli Ward for granted and plans an aggressive primary and general re-election campaign.

McCain pointed to his efforts to keep the Air Force from retiring the A-10 attack jet, reopening a fish hatchery in Mojave County and pushing a highway bypass in Pima County as successes. And he said his leadership on national security issues is particularly needed amid growing world-wide threats.

Getting arms to baby ISJV?
I'd never heard the term wacko bird before.
Oh, and he called me a hobbit, which is quite a compliment, although I don't think he meant it as such.
Oh, and he managed to get his daughter a job.

#13 This is just beltway insiders and their string pullers, working Thad Chochran style to prop up whats essentially a shambling corpse for them to use, Weekend At Bernie's style. Why? because they retain power, and keep another possibly real conservative (like Lee from Utah or Cruz from Texas) from destroying the oligarchy.
