"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."

Arizonans oppose a federal mandate requiring everyone to have health insurance and agree more with the tea party movement than they do with President Barack Obama, according to a new poll of 500 Arizona voters.
The Rasmussen Reports poll released Friday shows:
• Sixty percent oppose individual health coverage mandates that are part of new federal health care reform laws; 36 percent back those mandates.
• Fifty-two percent said their views are closer to the antitax, antigovernment tea party movement than they are to Obama’s views; 36 percent said they are more line with Obama.
• Eighty-three percent said a candidate’s position on illegal immigration is important to how they vote; 13 percent said immigration was not an important issue.
Immigration and tea party issues could be key in several races this election year. J.D. Hayworth is making immigration and the Mexican border an issue in his bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. John McCain.
Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas is running for state attorney general, and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is mulling a run for governor. Both are immigration hawks.
When it comes to the tea party, some Republicans are trying to appeal to the conservative populist movement. Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker and former Arizona Sen. Pam Gorman are touting themselves as part of the tea party movement in the crowded Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives seat being vacated by John Shadegg.
The Rasmussen poll was conducted April 13.

PRESS RELEASE
NEW RASMUSSEN POLL SHOWS McCAIN COLLAPSING
Today it is McCain 47, Hayworth 42
Phoenix, AZ (April 16) - A new poll released today by Rasmussen Reports shows that Senator John McCain’s lead over J.D. Hayworth in the Arizona Republican primary race has slipped to a mere 5 points.
“McCain has flooded the airways with paid advertisements and apparently Arizona voters don’t like what he has to say,” said Hayworth campaign manager David Payne. “Congressman Hayworth’s grassroots campaign and conservative message is being embraced by the people.”
The poll of likely Republican primary voters shows that “McCain has been losing ground since January when he picked up 53 percent of the potential GOP Primary vote and Hayworth had only 31 percent,” according to the Rasmussen news release.
It also found just 2 percent prefer some other candidate, and 8 percent are undecided.
“Any incumbent who is earning less than 50 percent of the vote at this stage of the campaign in considered vulnerable,” the Rasmussen release said.
Hayworth leads McCain in key categories.
Eighty-six percent of Primary voters think the recently-passed heath care bill should be repealed, with 50 percent strongly favoring repeal supporting Hayworth compared to only 41 percent favoring McCain.
Of voters who agree with the Tea Party movement, 49 percent back Hayworth compared to 42 percent for McCain.
And 85 percent of Republican Primary voters in the state say gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing the status if illegal aliens. Hayworth has made protecting the border a priority and has been critical of McCain’s leading role in the failed “amnesty for illegals” effort in 2006 and 2007.
You’re right! It’s definitely within striking distance... so GIVE to JD... (http://www.jdforsenate.com/) if only to see THAT LOOK on McVain’s face when he loses!!!
When is that primary?
People, do not ever give to any PAC that has given money to McCain in this primary.
That includes Sarah’s PAC.
August 24th.
It's been mentioned several times the Sheriff Joe is mulling a run for Governor. Does anyone know when the filing deadline is for the governor's race?
If he wins, I hope he grooms his replacement as sheriff.
The social scrounges - Those who are too lazy to get out of bed within a 72 hour period. ( and then they only get up to get more of their food stamp Twinkies.)
Music to my delicate little ears.
Throw another RINO on the barbee. The "Maverick" is TOAST!
“If he wins, I hope he grooms his replacement as sheriff.”
He probably has some qualified and experienced deputies, but he needs to make his decision first. From this site, it looks like the deadline to file for the Arizona primary election is May 26:

Great news! Things are breaking JDs way....and looks like Sarah Palin did not help McCain any....judging by the latest Rasmussen
Of course, McAmnesty is never above running as Democrat
I agree. I simply don’t understand how a man like John McCain, a former Naval officer ,suffering imprisonment and torture in The Hanoi Hilton, at the hands of socialist/communists can’t see Barack Obama for what he is and the damage he is doing to our country. It’s sad.
McCain has helped Obama and the Democrats. They grabbed power thanks to McCain Feingold.
Yeah he sure did. I just can’t understand how it is he can do this to the country he once fought for. Its pathetic.
