The former six-term congressman stepped down Friday as host of his conservative talk radio program on a radio station in Phoenix.

"We will formally announce at a later time, but we're moving forward to challenge John McCain," Hayworth told the Associated Press. "I think we all respect John. I think his place in history is secure. But after close to a quarter-century in Washington, it's time for him to come home."

I hope he gets some high profile endorsements - it is gonna be tough having Palin and Brown on the other side.

[Jeff Chandler]

McCain has been running snide, obnoxious radio ads denigrating Hayworth for the past couple weeks.

I hope Hayworth returns the favor and come out strongly against Juan.

If PALIN STUMPS for McCain, Palin can forget running for PRESIDENT. END OF STORY

[MarkAccord]

I think this will be an exercise in futility for JD Hayworth. If he loses this primary, he is probably done with any elected office.

[jyoders19]

Yep, McCain has Brown and Palin and probably the governor. Bad idea, Hayworth.

[LomanBill]

Hopefully Hayworth with be a refreshing alternative to...



...McWeevil.

Palin owes McCain for introducing her to the national scene. It’s called loyalty. A higher form of integrity. Also, McCain was the first high profile politician to endorse Scott Brown, again loyalty comes to the surface.
McCain need to take some advice and retire. Pass the baton and enjoy his latter years.

Just as futile as Brown and Rubio when they first announced, right, got it.

[Carry_Okie]

Where do I send a donation to Hayworth?

McCain, you are so done.

[Slyfox]

Don't forget about me!!!

[MarkAccord]

For the record, Massachusetts and Florida are both open Senate seats, Arizona isn’t. If Arizona were an open seat, I would probably support him.

Hayworth should begin his run by vowing to S-T-O-P any form of healthcare reform instead of McCain-like/Brown-like “negotiating and compromising to get a better bill” type crap. If Brown missed the message of last Tuesday as badly as McCain, Hayworth can gain a lot of support by coming out strongly against any such pantywaist pandering to the RATS.

NO BILL, NO COMPROMISE, AND NOBAMA!

Bad idea, Hayworth.

Hayworth has Sheriff Joe and most of the grassroots.

McCain can ESAD, politically speaking.
