He got a LOT of help from Sarah Palin last time around. Very good chance he would have lost the primary to Hayworth had Palin not took up for him and defended him against Tea Party charges that he was a mushy, useless bag of crap. Sadly, McCain really is a worthless heap of dung and Arizona is the kind of state where replacing him with a good conservative could have worked well.
Oh, enough with this canard.
McTraitor has won how many elections? You're naive enough to think Palin had that much to do with the last one? Get a grip. Blame Arizona voters all you want, but this nonsensical pinning of "McCain's election" on Palin needs to end.
