Need to research why hayworth lost his representative seat a few years back. Was he outcampaigned, skeletons? . As much a jackass mccain is, he is a sitting senator. Not impossible to overcome, but quite formidable.

He lost the same time Rick Santorum and other good conservatives lost, I can't remember exactly when that was, but I remember at the time being shocked & thinking to myself that there was something odd about that. ACORN?

Hayworth lost because of bad Republican year, Abramoff ties, Indian casinos conflicts, and paying his wife from his PAC...only lost by 4% though...also, he was a huge earmark guy...may be tough to win for him in a “cut spending” election...magritte

The middle had been lulled and convinced by the MSM that Bush was Evil reincarnate, and all that were in the same party were just as tainted.

Unfortunately, the middle is where the votes are, to paraphrase that infamous bank robber. The good news, is that they can be made uncomfortable enough to open their eyes.

Liberalism cannot stand on it's own merits. It needs to be "cleverly" packaged to complete the sale.

The way things are going, it appears that the dems overplayed their hand, and woke up the middle in their sleep, to a robber in the bedroom.

Nope.. the students at University of Arizona, Tempe...they loved the former Mayor of Tempe, Mitchell and went all out to get him elected... that and typical dirty ads at a bad time for the GOP with the Abramhoff scandal.
