"Ironically, both McCain’s opponent and his own supporters agree on one thing: If he wins, he’ll probably morph yet again, a lame-duck senator with nothing to lose, tacking left to reclaim his old mantle as a thorn in his party’s side."

And the final sentence, a quote from John McCain...

“I didn’t want to do this,” he says. “But I could tell from the desperate looks of my staff that we had an enormous problem. And that it could come down to lying or losing. I chose lying.”

Hayworth doesn't excite me, though I'm not from Arizona he seems to be similar to many entrenched GOP statists. However, if Arizona elects McCain again they almost deserve to lose Arizona to Mexico. I lived in Arizona for 5 years back in the early 80s and the illegal immigration problem was horrible. It has to be even worse now though it would be hard for me to imagine.

Look, I appreciate your comments, but the Hayworth statist line is really beneath you.

J.D. has a 97.5% ACU rating for his twelve years in Congress, while McCain only had a 65% in 1966. I looked this much up the other day for another post and have it fresh in my memory.

J. D. is a good guy. He doesn’t deserve these kinds of comments about him.

I have been noticing a lot of people coming here to say McCain isn’t very good, but J. D. isn’t much better. That is not factual, and it causes me to react stridently to the slander.

Look, you’ve actually bought off on it. It isn’t true.
