AZ-Sen. 2010: AZ Sen Poll: McCain Opens Primary Lead (over Hayworth) (thanks a lot, Sarah)
Real Clear Politics / Rasmussen ^ | 2010-01-22

Posted on 01/22/2010 8:02:15 AM PST by rabscuttle385

Sen. John McCain (R) has known from an early stage that he could face a tough primary in his bid for re-election this year, and acted on it. He already launched radio ads touting his effort to block President Obama's "extreme left wing crusade." And just this week, Sen.-elect Scott Brown (R) recorded robocalls that went out to voters in Arizona.

Now, a Rasmussen poll (502 LVs, 1/20, MoE +/- 4.5%) shows the Maverick just over 50 percent in a potential matchup against former Rep. JD Hayworth -- not the best position for an incumbent to be, but an improvement over the dead heat Rasmussen found in November.

Primary Election Matchup
McCain 53 (+8 vs. last poll, 11/18)
Hayworth 31 (-12)
Simcox 4 (unch)
Und 8 (+1)

What issues does Sarah and John McCain agree on that’s a RINO position?

How about supporting bona fide and documented ‘RINO’ John McCain?

As I figured, can’t name one, thank you very much

HA! yeah, yeah...BUT - we didn’t vote for McCain, we voted for Palin, right? hee hee

I’m curious how this endorsement from his wife/daughter is going to play out...but yes, that would be VERY interesting if it ended up costing him! Keep it up, ladies!

Why did Sarah get into bed (symbolically) with a RINO like McCain to begin with? A true conservative would have stuck to conservative principles and said no, and bided her time so she could run on her own without the RINO albatross around her neck.

I know McCain and I know Hayworth. Personally I like Hayworth and I don't like McCain. Taking that into account, Hayworth is not in the same league. He is not Senate material. I really doubt that Hayworth will challenge McCain.

McCain has a $6 million dollar war chest and an equal amount readily available and unlimited fundraising capabilities. Hayworth is looking for lunch money.

Governor Palin may be useful in tamping down any insurgency but McCain would be better off with a Romney endorsement. Lunch with Romney would solidify the eastern suburbs of Phoenix and the counties east to New Mexico. Those are the districts with heavy LDS influence. McCain would win without either Palin or Romney but the results this time will be compared to his previous wide margins. He doesn't want to go into his last term limping like Goldwater with a 5000 vote win.

Well I didn’t want to get into an argument about Sarah Palin, you hate her, we get that. Does it really suprise you she would support a guy who gave her a chance to come into her own on the national stage.

McCain isn’t running against Hayworth...just maybe. So, the point isn’t valid.

JD Hayworth couldn't even hold onto his own Congressional seat, what makes you think he is the next coming?

Don't direct that loaded question to me.

Thanks.

You got to consider that Sarah’s caught in a jam here. Campaign against the guy who introduced you to the rest of the world? I’d bet it loyalty that’s driving her support not politics.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I understand your logic, but if this is the case, she should not have come out an announced that she’d support “common sense conservatives.”

At the very least, she should’ve remained silent in this AZ race.

If he'd declare Hayworth wouldn't be looking for lunch money. He'd be getting Scott Brown level money from in and out-of-state. Others in Arizona have a very different take than yours.

And you sure do make a hopeless case for someone who likes Hayworth and dislikes McCain?

She could have avoid the primaries without being accused of non-loyalty - busy schedule - and then see what happens. I am sad also that she made that move. Very sad.

McCain is only conservative when up for reelection...he still is for illegal immigration...I think it will hurt Sarah to some degree....Lots of conservatives hate McCain, including me....

McCain needs to be Tea Party’d.
Palin should be ashamed.

how is Hayworth going to justify a run if he has to deal with McCain’s $, incumbency power AND Palin? It’s over for him before he starts.

Ronald Regan lost a presidential primary to that unelected president Gerald Ford, who couldn't even beat Jimmy Carter in 1976. Why did anyone ever give that Reagan guy another look?
