“...but you think a big spending congressman/lobbiest sock-puppet, who couldn’t win re-election in his little district, and proof of eligibility issue is gonna be right combination to take down McCain? Dream the dream friend.”
Sure, McLame may win this year despite the fact that voters are fed up with incumbents and McLame has already been in D.C. 24 years, jumping in front of every TV camera he can and running down Republicans at every opportunity. And McLame, old Keating 5 scandal boy himself, may be able to spin enough in the primary to make Republican voters forget his backing of the unconstitutional campaign finance fiasco, bank bailouts, “crossing the aisle” to join with Dims, illegal amnesty, cap and tax, etc., etc.
But I wouldn’t count on it.
McLame is emitting the odor of a 3-day old dead fish. I think Arizona Republicans are going to be less inclined to hold their noses and vote for him this time.

Yep. McCain sucks. He's still gonna win. You gonna hit him with being a media whore and Keating 5? CFR. yawn. These are old issues that cut McCain support to just 77% in 2004.

I see no polls to indicate Hayworth has masked the odor of corruption and spending he had in his home district in 2006.
Whatever. I didn't support McCain in the 2008 primaries. I wanted Thompson, but I would have voted for whoever won the GOP nod. Now, I don't believe Thompson ever intended to win. He entered the race to siphon votes from the Huckster and save McCain. All conservatives wanted anybody but McCain during the 08 primaries. But, when faced with the choice of McCain or Obama all but the most extreme Republican picked McCain on issues of WOT, Pro-Life, RKBA, free trade, runaway government spending, and taxes. McCain's VP choice of Palin got voters excited and he was leading in polls until the mortgage market collapsed in late Sept. McCain almost pulled off the culmination of 8 years of running for Pres.
Up until 2000 McCain's voting record was pretty conservative. To appeal to moderate and rat voters, fatigued on the GOP after 8 years of Bush, he would find ways to reach out to rats. He would also set about writing the campaign laws he would run under. With the Gang of 14, McCain bypassed the filibusters and the "nuclear option" which led to the confirmations of Chief Justice Roberts and judges Pryor, Brown, and Owen.
McCain is a very shrewed political operator. JD is an opportunist, who believes the door to opportunity, that slammed shut in his face in 2006, has opened again for him. If he wins the primary and we hold the seat, great. If not, every excited conservative dollar that was wasted on JD didn't go to Rubio or some other conservative with a better chance of winning.
