DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - Arizona Sen. John McCain, a likely Republican presidential contender in 2008, joked on Wednesday he would "commit suicide" if Democrats win the Senate in November.
McCain, on a visit to Iowa to campaign for Republican congressional candidates, was asked his reaction to a potential Democratic takeover of the Senate in the November 7 elections.
"I think I'd just commit suicide," McCain told reporters, to accompanying laughter from Republicans standing with him. "I don't want to face that eventuality because I don't think it's going to happen."
Democrats must pick up six seats in the Senate and 15 seats in the House of Representatives to win control of both chambers.
Polls show Democrats within striking distance of reclaiming the Senate, and in a strong position to claim a majority in the House.
"I think it's going to be tough, but I think we'll do OK," McCain said of Republican prospects.
