McCain 'Seriously Considering' Running for Reelection to Senate
Breitbart ^ | 12 Mar 2014 | William Bigelow

Posted on 03/12/2014 9:56:58 AM PDT by george76

Undeterred by a recent Public Policy Polling poll that showed he has only a 30% job approval in his native Arizona, Sen. John McCain said on Fox Business’ “Cavuto” that he is considering running for reelection.

McCain denied the poll was accurate

Hayworth was a casualty of the 2006 election. He was not the strongest challenger to take on McCain.

In Alaska there is a rule against running as a third-party candidate if you lose the primary, but the RINO got around that by running and winning as a write-in.

The law in AZ is he can’t run as an Indy if he loses the GOP Primary, but he can run for the Primary from more than one party. IOW, he can put himself on the GOP and Green Party, and if he wins the Green while losing the GOP, he can be on the General Election ballot as a Green.

I don’t know if running a write-in campaign is possible in AZ like it was in AK.

Probably. I don’t know why she keeps slapping AZ conservatives in the face, but she will.

Of course they do. Don't you remember how Sarah Palin swooped in to save his sorry old ass last time?

Sarah Palin did endorse him, but it didn't "save his ass." His $17 million or so of warchest money he didn't spend against Obastard saved his ass. I wish ignorant people would stop saying Sarah Palin's endorsement (which I did not like from her) won the Primary for him. It did not.

Yes, I meant he is one of my two senators.

By unfortunate circumstances I am in grijalva's congressional district.

You remember correctly, but every time the subject of Juan McQueeg comes up, there are Palin-haters who come in and fling around their ignorant garbage about how we owe his continuing existence to her.

He will win that seat as long as he wants it, no matter who endorses him, and that’s the way it is.

Many thanks for the info....personally, I suspect he’s blustering..his ego couldn’t stand his losing an election..let alone a primary. As I wrote, I think it’s all about his putting down a marker for a committee chair he wants

Brewer is as bad (or worse) than McQueeg.

Please see my post #65. Only people ignorant of AZ politics believe Sarah Palin put McQueeg over the top.

In your opinion, who would be the strongest challenger to McCain in AZ in 2016?

And yes, I’m hoping for a true conservative instead of an “electable” backstabbing RINO moderate squish.

If he does, I'll have to move back to Az. to vote against him.

That might help to make up a bit for my original sins of voting for him in the beginning when I didn't know any better.

And it will definitely give me some satisfaction for 2008 when I had to violate my oath to never vote for him again, only to watch him crash, burn and bow to the one known as "obama" and help shoot down Sarah Palin's rising star as a bonus prize.

There isn't a kinder, gentler marxist rino I dislike more in that very competitive field.

Congressman David Schweikert. I'd say Salmon too, but he blew his last state-wide election against Janet Napolitano by failing to counter the anti-Mormon sentiment, which is strong in some areas of the state. It felt like he actually threw the election in the final weeks because of that.

Whatever makes you feel good about supporting the world biggest McCain cheerleader is fine by me.

In other words, “the voters in AZ are dupes and I fooled them with the ‘build the damn fence’ add! It’s a cinch that I can fool them again!”

That was then...this is now.

There is much discontent among the ranks now and the dims are threatening that they can take his seat (Giffords??).

I think that will spur a more serions threat from within the Republican ranks now. Also there will be more outside influence and money for a serious Republican challenger. McCain is an embarrasment.
