Election 2010: Arizona Republican Primary for Senate (McCain-47 Hayworth-42) Rasmussen Poll

Incumbent John McCain now earns just 47% support to challenger J.D. Hayworth’s 42% in Arizona’s hotly contested Republican Senate Primary race, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely primary voters.

[pissant]

I’m not talking about Bachmann. I’m talking about DeMint and Hunter. Hunter won’t endorse because both men have campaigned for him multiple times and his dad was a big McCain supporter. But he also let it be known that JD is the guy whose politics he far prefers.

Hayworth started his new radio ad yesterday, and it is excellent!! Hard hitting, but not mean.

Thanks, I just hope Sarah at least decides to stay out of Arizona until this campaign is over. And Juan is so vulnerable to criticism on so many flip flops and stances that conservatives oppose, that JD could really rake him over the coals in a debate.

There is a danger of seeming too mean, but JD also needs to point out some of Juan's most blatant hypocrisy and the liberal positions he's taken.

[Nervous Tick]

It takes awhile for those who don’t pay much attention to learn that an alternative to McCain even *exists*.

But once they do, they get real interested...

That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

[LS]

This is a great result. I think Ras trends about 2-3 in favor of the “good guys,” but it still suggests that Hayworth is MUCH closer than McQueeq thinks and is completely in striking distance.

[LS]

Agreed. If she had come out for J.D. this would already be over.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Oh, my gosh! I had been comforting myself with the thought that she only did 1 appearance with him. Daily radio ads?! In this one and very limited case, I hope that AZ voters soundly reject Palin.

[Friendofgeorge]

Sarah and I are hoping JD can win this thing. At least I hope Sarah is hoping this. I love her either way. I want JD to win so Sarah can be the first to endorse him, and then campaign with him also.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Yes, it is. I would support her candidacy for anything, but as you said, if McCain squeaks this out, she alone is to blame.

[rabscuttle385]

I had been comforting myself with the thought that she only did 1 appearance with him. Daily radio ads?!

There were multiple live rallies in Arizona, a picnic, a paid photo-op, an op-ed in the Arizona Republic, an appearance on Fox News broadcast worlwide, her image plastered all over his campaign Web site for months, and then the daily radio ads broadcast in Arizona that SJB is talking about.

JD is a blowhard whose stupid antics lost a safe Republican seat. Another vote for Obamacare which never should have been - thanks, JD.

He should not be rewarded with the Senate nomination.

*crosses fingers, squeezes eyes shut and prays you’re right*

Why are you shilling for McCain?

[definitelynotaliberal]

I’m w/you. McCain ought to have had the grace to step down and let JD have it. Instead, here he is again doing what he always does - breaking us up, tearing down one Republican (JDH) and roping another into doing something she really ought not to be doing. Damn him!

[okie01]

Has McCain come out in favor or against cap and trade? I can’t keep up.

Now that he's in a primary contest, he says he opposes cap & trade.

However, in the 2008 general election, cap & trade was one of his Presidential campaign promises.

You figure it out...

CALLING SARAH PALIN, CALLING SARAH PALIN:

PLEASE COME TO ARIZONA FOR MORE PERSONAL APPEARANCES WITH MCLAME. WE DESPERATELY NEED YOU HERE.

[ducks1944]

I have a sister who lives there will ask her tonight. She will be voting JD you can count on it.
Just got email form her will ask be back later.

[TexasFreeper2009]

If Palin hadn’t endorsed McPain he would be 10 points down.

[Dagnabitt]

JD is a blowhard whose stupid antics lost a safe Republican seat. Another vote for Obamacare which never should have been - thanks, JD. He should not be rewarded with the Senate nomination.

Ridiculous. Whatever his defects, JD is in a primary against an enemy of American borders, language and culture. I hope and pray that he will be the one to finally rid us of the turd that wouldn't flush.

[unspun]

Arizona, free yourself from McCain’s destructive strains of transnational progressivism.

(And Hayworth, please don’t say anything stupid.)
