Spot on as always!
The fact is, John McCain is the epitome of the term ‘RINO’, he’s been on that Washington gravy train for way too long, he is pro-amnesty and pro-open borders, which I highly doubt that his constituents are in favor of (you would know more about that, being in Arizona), McCain effectively threw the election to 0bama, pissing down our neck and telling us it’s just rainwater, all the while babbling that crap about us not needing to “fear an 0bama Administration”.
Now J.D. Hayworth is by far the best shot conservatives have at throwing McCain out and putting a REAL Republican in that seat, and that is why we already see the McCainiacs throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Hayworth and he hasn’t even announced yet! That spells fear on the part of McCain, and it should.
Now the best thing Sarah Palin can do in this instance is to just issue a statement in which she declines to endorse ANY candidate in Arizona’s Senatorial race, she can say some kind words about her political benefactor, but if she endorses McCain over a tried and proven conservative like Hayworth, she is demonstrating that her conservatism is a conservatism of convenience, and that will NEVER get her to the White House.
Ask Bob Dole, in his doomed ‘96 run for the presidency, he famously (or infamously as some might say) said “You want Reagan? I can be Reagan” but anyone with a room temperature IQ knew that Dole was NOT Reagan, and never could be.
Ditto for Sarah Palin. Contrary to Michael Reagan’s admiring words, she is NOT the second coming of the Gipper.

To me, it would not even be “conservatism of convenience”. It would be a betrayal of everything conservatism stands for.
Mike Reagan is a very nice guy. He is also no more than average intelligence, and his radio show could put you to sleep.
