McCain’s mean machine gearing up

Seeing Red AZ ^

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Amid rampant speculation of potential congressional challengers to John McCain, it looks like a long shot that any of them will step up to the task. In fact, they are peeling off faster than a cheap auto paint job in the Phoenix sun.

Schweikert‘s officially out. Gosar won‘t take on the fight. Franks has no reason to give up the seat on which he has a lock, and it will be a shocker of monumental proportions if Salmon decides to run against John McCain.

None of these Arizona congressmen are willing to subject themselves and their families to the brutality of the McCain political apparatus, that relies on opposition research —- often with manufactured results —- to decimate challengers. Having access to money to wage such internecine battles is not a problem for one who has been in D.C. since what seems like the dawn of time —- 1983. On the other hand, six six-year terms is more than Arizonans should have to endure.

Enter a strong opponent. A woman and a family physician, two-term state Sen. Kelli Ward is considering contesting McCain. Dr./Sen. Ward is impressive, which is why the long knives of McCain’s surrogates are out early.

The democrats are the ones keeping McCain in power here. We cannot stop them from voting for him in the primaries. No one I know likes him but he’s able to maintain office somehow. Thinking people here want him out!

I dream of a post-McCain world.

Graham did not have a opponent who was capable of beating him. It was not realistic to expect him to him to be defeated by those poor actors that ran. I suspect that if Rep. Wilson or Rep. Gowdy had run that Graham would have lost.

We are no longer governed out of our state houses but out of Washington.

True. I hate the 17th!

IF the Senators actually represented the State legislatures as the framers intended, AZ would have recalled McCain a long time ago. MCCAIN DOES NOT REPRESENT THE STATE'S LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS OF AZ.

He gets his conservative conversion every 6 years and promptly returns to the seat of power next to the Potomac and instantly turns into a RINO, the same way the lawyers running the District will never vote for tort reform.

The solution to this problem of a broken Federal Government HAS to come from the states via Article V - the District of Corruption will NEVER EVER vote to change it's power status.
