Sen. John McCain, the publicity-seeking straight-talking Republican who often challenges the GOP establishment, has taken on a headline-grabbing issue - steroids in baseball - and generated talk of a presidential bid in 2008.
| Ohfergawdsake. GW hasn't even been inaugurated for this term yet. |
Amid revelations about baseball's biggest names, McCain has threatened to push legislation early next year if Major League Baseball and the players do not clean up their act. McCain long has advocated harsher penalties for athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs. The three-term senator from Arizona has earned a reputation as a go-to lawmaker, tackling campaign finance, the war on Iraq, federal spending and climate change.
| Helluva job you do on that campaign finance reform, John. |
It's little wonder that his foray into the baseball scandal has revived Republican speculation about McCain and the 2008 presidential race.
I didn't realize it was so easy, lol! |
