A group of Arizona Republicans are vowing to vote for anyone but U.S. Sen. John McCain in this year's GOP senate primary.

The Republican Party of Maricopa County said Sunday that precinct committeemen approved a resolution to support another candidate.

Maricopa County Chairman Tyler Bowyer said in a statement that the senator's recent vote to increase the national debt while fully funding Planned Parenthood shows he is more aligned with President Barack Obama than Arizona voters.

Kelli Ward is the outsider candidate here with Matt Salmon from Congress pretending to be a ‘conservative’. How many opponents will show up in the end to split the vote so McCain wins the primary.

Actually this is big news. McQueeg has had a lot of say in the Arizona Republican party. For the Maricopa County Republicans to break away it is indeed a big story.

I would so love to see McCain beaten in the primaries.

I would love it even more if the ghost of Barry Goldwater appeared before him and said “Mr. Senator, it’s time to go!”

Arizona already had one Cheap Labor Express Senator in McCain and they elected another one in Flake.
I have no faith that they will boot the worst GOP Senator.
