U.S. Sen. John McCain and Gov. Jan Brewer continue to hold leads over their opponents, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll.
In a June 16 poll of 707 likely Republican primary voters, McCain is leading the three-way primary with 47 percent support. Former Congressman J.D. Hayworth stands at 36 percent, while veteran Jim Deakin has 7 percent.
While the poll shows a continuing lead — McCain was at 52 percent to Hayworth’s 40 percent last month — a longstanding political rule-of-thumb indicates incumbents are vulnerable when they slip below the 50 percent mark.

McCain....ugh...
Come on JD....take this RINO down!
Dear God ....NO!!
I don’t care what JD is selling on the Internet. McCain has been selling us all out for years.
If Arizona elects McCain again, I don’t want to hear them griping when he turns against them and becomes proamnesty again.
It appears that McCain is using this Tea Party guy Deakin to split the conservative vote. It might work.
between McCain and JD isnt that kind of a damned if you do damned if you dont scenario
who is the third guy first i heard of him/her any good?
McCain has spent 6 million
Hayworth 500,000
12/1 spending ratio.
Palins radio ads praising McCain have run 5-700 times on conservative talk radio.
Yeah, blame it on us, airhead!
Deakin is looking more like the spoiler here with his 7%. Which tells me that he wants us saddled with McCain for another six yrs. Without his 7%, JD would be right up there on McCain’s heels. Problem is that Deakin is out for himself and giving his conservative “finger” to the rest of us conservatives in AZ.
What are the rules in Arizona Primaries? Plurality wins or run-off for less than 50%?
Palin supports McPain..AZ will be the big loser if Mcpain wins again
Palin will pay for McCain's victory with the disdain of every conservative when he resumes his backstabbing ways.
“Yeah, blame it on us, airhead!”
Not on you, but on the airheads that listen to endorsements instead of looking at the AH’s record and voting for him because of all of that experience. It is a national problem that y’all seem to exemplify best at the moment.
“(McCain 47, Hayworth 36, Deakin 7)”
McCain’s guy...Deakin...btw, just like Thompson did in the prez primary...is doing his job...lying about J.D. Hayworth and throwing the vote to McCain. What a country! THE best government $$ can buy.
Here is the kind of thing Deakin puts out on the web:
Deakin is a LIAR and not very bright.
Jim Deakin: A VOTE FOR JOHN HAYWORTH IS A VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN
I scoured the Library of Congress and could find no significant differences in the voting record of John McCain and John Hayworth.
As a politician, it appears from the Library of Congress that Hayworth is politics as usual.
Hayworth served for 12 YEARS. I cannot list every vote (you are welcome to do your own research at http://thomas.loc.gov/ )
Amnesty laws and extensions passed during the Hayworth years in Congress. http://www.legion.org/documents/legion/pdf/illegalimmigration.pdf Page 14 and 15
1. Section 245(i) The Amnesty of 1994 – a temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens.
2. Section 245(i) The Extension Amnesty of 1997 – an extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994.
3. Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NASCARA) Amnesty of 1997 – An amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Central America.
4. Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA) of 1998 — An amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.
5. Late Amnesty of 2000 – An amnesty for illegal aliens who claim they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty, an estimated 400,000 illegal aliens.
6. Life Amnesty of 2000 – A reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty that legalized an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens.
I did not look to see if JD actually voted for any of these Laws. However, he did not stop them either.

NOTE what he says here: “
I did not look to see if JD actually voted for any of these Laws. “
NO, Hayworth didn’t vote for them! I contacted Deakin about this post, but he ignored it.
“It appears that McCain is using this Tea Party guy Deakin to split the conservative vote. It might work.”
Exactly! See post 15
I hope J.D. will have enough money to make his case in the important closing days of the primary. He needs to use whatever cash he then has squirreled away for a pull-no-punches barrage against McShame.
I realize probably everyone on this thread has contributed more than once to J.D.’s campaign.
If you can afford it, keep on giving. This is by far our best shot to replace this old fly in the conservative ointment with a real conservative.
generally, it is a plurality with a minimum of 40%. I do not know AZ primary law.
Could be but primaries are supposed to be for picking the most conservative candidate at least that is what FREEPERS say all the time...of course only when convenient. I say he should be able to run if he wants. I hope he wins. Why conservatives hate this is beyond me. Is Deakin the most conservative candidate??? If he is than he SHOULD be the one that conservatives support. It used to be that way in the past, but since we have been on the RINO express the last year it has certainly been slam the conservative site. Kinda sad I must say.
“between McCain and JD isnt that kind of a damned if you do damned if you dont scenario”
No, it’s not.
