Which would be about what he had when he won the Republican nomination last Super Tuesday. All these winner-take-all and no runoff elections are serving up very poor candidates for Republicans

Yeah, ban the winner take all primaries. It worked so well for the democrats where they had day after day, week after bloody week of hand to hand combat for months and months before Obama finally beat Clinton.

JD Hayworth has a better chance than the other two.

The hell you say. I predict Chris Simcox will coast to a smashing victory !!!

[Anti-Bubba182]

Simcox has lots of baggage. McCain would walk over him easily.

Yeah, do ban them, and have closed primaries. They'd have had little effect on the Hillary/Obama contest because Edwards quit and it became a two person race fairly soon. It's when there are four or five contenders that winner-take-all allows someone to win the nomination with little more than 30%, just as McCain did in 2008.

The hand-to-hand didn't seem to hurt the Dems ability to win the general election. Better to have a race to the end than a 30% nominee so many were luke warm about.

McLame Scared?
I’d like to see the guy made in to a buildings cornerstone.

“Jim Deakin sounds like a winner.”

I might have thought so also, until I just read this tripe.
Deakin is a LIAR. Why replace McCain..one liar, with another?

Jim Deakin: A VOTE FOR JOHN HAYWORTH IS A VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN (JOHN Hayworth??? )

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.
