Did JD lose his House seat, or did he voluntarily quit? If he lost to a challenger in his own district, how does he expect to win a state?
JD narrowly lost his seat after coming out against the Bush adminstration on its support for the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” bill. The party gave him no support and then to top it off, started an FEC ethics probe of which he was not charged. Add to it his seat was becoming similar to B1 Bob’s seat in which the Greek, Loretta Sanchez, (convenient name change) used Acorn and credible voter fraud to throw it her way.
maica, you are the first person who has asked the question I am myself wondering about. It seems to me that his involvement with Abramhoff and the questions about his wife being paid by his PAC would be fodder for a democrat opponent.
During his last election (which he lost) the Arizona Republic withdrew its endorsement and several GOP people supported his opponent.
I dislike McCain as much as anyone, but I don't think Hayworth can win a state-wide election. Of course, I am not an expert in Arizona politics but I wonder if Palin (whose main thrust has always been getting rid of corruption) is supporting McCain because of some of Hayworth's questionable dealings.
At any rate, I would rather have McCain in that seat than a democrat. Right now, every vote in the Senate is needed.
I really don’t know,but for now he is our best hope.
