Some of this is just hype. McCain is clearly not happy with what the Supreme Court did to his anti-1st-Amendment pride and joy, but he says he respects it. That’s infinitely better than spitting defiance.

JD has to corner McStain and dredge up McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Feingold, TARP, Cap & Trade, Gay "Marriage" and a whole host of problematic policies that the Stain has supported.

Now hopefully Palin won't run too much interference and bail his RINO @ss out.

I don’t know. When I read the article, he doesn’t seem to switch his positions on some issues; at least not a ‘U-turn’ like the title says.

Probably not the best time to let his wife run her pro-gay views in California. No way he did not approve her doing this in an election year. Guess he didn’t think he would get any real challenge from the right.

Some people know when it is time to leave. I’ve always admired those who do so at the top of their game. McCain should gracefully bow out, but he won’t, and that is bad for conservatives and for the Republican Party.

Aye.

I hope she realizes that she can't lie for McCain's lies.

Turn it around, John. Listen to Sarah.

(J.D. has very little to no chance at the win).

How helpful of AP to provide this critique of Juan.

I look forward to similar analyses of leftists (NOT).

Well, he did get a challenge from the right, and Sarah Palin took it on herself to ignore it to the point of not even knowing what it stood for. I hope she mensches up if (hopefully, WHEN) McCain gets his pants beat off in the primary.

The more Hayworth keeps Senator Judas from being the 60th vote on anything Obama wants, the more America wins even if Hayworth ultimately loses. If you financially support any candidate outside your state this election cycle, it should be J.D. Hayworth.

Observant people can see the difference between Palin and McCain. Observant people can see why McCain selected a TRUE conservative to run with him. Observant people can see the difference between the two. Why can’t you?

I don’t think a ‘Rat will win his seat. Arizona’s track record is not electing Democrat senators and if Hayworth succeeds, I think he wins the election.

The worst the Dems in Arizona could do is Janet Napolitano and she’s up to her eyeballs in terrorists right now. Frankly, I think all those seniors in AZ are not happy with what they are seeing in Washington and are too wise to elect a Dem to help Obama out.
