TIME.com: Who Wants to Control the Senate? Tim Johnson's illness has threatened the Democrats' majority. But that may not be such a bad thing. The argument seems to be that there are significant disadvantages to "running" the Senate when the margin is a single vote, as it will be whether or not Johnson is able to keep his seat. And it suggests that this may esp. hurt McCain who would become the chair of the Armed Services Committee if the Republicans regain control.
