Hayworth had Abramoff problems, Indian casino issues, and something about his wife getting some questionable money from his PAC...lost his House seat in 2006 ... magritte

"Issues" and "problems"?

Nothing illegal was found with his ties to Abramoff and the Indian Casinos. I believe his only problem is the earmarks.

Past that, JD has a near perfect conservative voting record and unlike McCain he will stop amnesty.

Didn’t think it was anything illegal, just recalling what had happened in general, I was surprised he lost actually...2006 was a rough year for Republicans and Hayworth had a few “scandals”, if you will, at the time...think that was just enough to bump him off ... think he had a high ACU rating...he’s a bit of a bombthrower as well...should be an interesting race...if the primary is a referendum on spending, McCain’s no earmark position puts Hayworth in a difficult spot, immigration pops up Hayworth has the advantage, regardless, the Republican money spigot is going to be turned up full for McCain...Hayworth will have to rely on other sources...magritte
