That did not help us this time however.
McCain still sucks... and Dream Warrior still approves this message.
That makes sense.
“McCain spent $20 million. That is $20,000,000, JD spent $2.5 million”
It disgusts me even more that McCain spent money intended to defeat BHO for his lameness in the Senate. What a FAILED bid in 2008. Now we have to put up with him for at least 6 more years. He won’t have $20M next time - will he???!!! How creepy that he spent that money, and is the author of ‘campaign reform.’ What a total JOKE that is.

We are SO doomed.
Yes, Obama’s massive over-reaching waked the masses of apathetic middle class voters. This will result in an eventual recapture of the US House and Senate by Republicans. But to what end? If all we have is Socialist light in there, we are screwed for the ages.
We need smaller government. We need to reject all of the big government liberal Republicans like McCain. Without new conservative blood in the GOP, we are completely and totally doomed.
I’m not shocked McCain won. Voters are still idiots by and large and I’m not surprised that the big name beat the little name. That tends to be how it works.
I am furious, but not surprised. Arizona deserves great shame for re-electing this liberal idiot. Arizona deserves better but not if they keep re-electing liberal idiot Republicans.
A low profile candidate with eloquence and intellect is better than a high profile buffoon. I refuse to believe that there aren’t any qualified people in certain states. I think it’s more of a question of money for running a campaign and commitment.
Does arizona have write-in ballots?
Why has the drug violence been on the increase when you hardly heard of it when the Republicans has both houses of Congress?
Yeah, I realized that after looking into it. I’m on the other side of the country most of the time so the only thing I ever heard about McCain’s election were the folks around here working hard against him ... the news of his fund raising advantages, etc. didn’t even break the papers.
Guess it’s true ... all politics is local. In this one, suffered from the Freeper feedback loops, I suppose =)
Now, now...you know John was in the plane that got hit by the Zuni rocket, not the one that fired it.
Congress has an 11% approval rating yet voters send 75%+ of incumbents back to DC.
I guess the approval ratings question should be changed to approval of congressmen from other states and districts since voters obviously like their own.
Arizona, the immigration law was a step in the right direction. This was two steps back.
Now, the Republicans have to win one more seat to gain a majority.
Because the drug cartels have been getting bolder and bolder. There was a drug problem before but now it’s out of hand. The drug cartels are now into human smuggling. They get paid to bring them across the border and make them carry the drugs in backpacks. You also have rival drug cartels batteling each other. I is different, can’t explain it. It’s like leaving your door open and first just the neighbors come in and take a few things, but soon the word gets around and then everyone is there helping themselves.
The public are idiots and are controlled by TV and the media. MCCain is evil.
In JD’s old district #5, the GOP turnout was 59,000 compared to 24,000 Dems.
How could JD have lost this heavy GOP district to Harry Mitchell in 2006, unless he was an inept congressman?
The dems didn’t have any contested races. Harry Mitchel1 was basically unopposed, so don’t look at the dem turnout. All over the state most races were either unopposed or had a token entry that garnered maybe 140 votes.
I’ve been supporting Arizona in their fight against illegals. Now, I wouldn’t complain if we gave it back to Mexico.
Yep — no way is Hayworth going to be able to raise enough $$$ to run a meaningful campaign as an independent.
