Not only did he have the $30 million, more helpful was having Fox News on his side. It wasn’t just the product placement tactics that Hannity and others gifted McCain with, it was the virtuall shutting down the story from day one.
Fox News didn’t ALLOW this race to become a story -unlike- the Rubio/Crist race. The Fox News manipulation of what SHOULD have been a GIGANTIC story (Conservatives ousting the previous GOP Presidential nominee from his Senate seat) is disgraceful. It was much like the way they campaigned for Mitt Romney and will do again next time around - to our detriment.

You got it. Hannity and Rush could have stood by Hayworth, but pussed out, like they did on immigration years ago when we could have actually done something about it. Last night CBS outlined the big 4 senate races, including McCain, but they didn’t even mention the name HAYWORTH, much less show his face. Until everyone realizes we have to attack this media first, we’ll always have ‘their’ candidates.
