Hayworth lost his Congressional seat in 2006. Why does he deserve to be a United States Senator at this time? I personally would vote against him.
All 100% irrelevant. Times change and issues change. Plenty of pols have made comebacks after a loss. Reagan lost two or three presidential primaries before he won. Why did he deserve to be elected later??? Did you vote against him in 1980 and 1984?
McCain has a $6 million dollar war chest and an equal amount readily available and unlimited fundraising capabilities. Hayworth is looking for lunch money.
Governor Palin may be useful in tamping down any insurgency but McCain would be better off with a Romney endorsement. Lunch with Romney would solidify the eastern suburbs of Phoenix and the counties east to New Mexico. Those are the districts with heavy LDS influence. McCain would win without either Palin or Romney but the results this time will be compared to his previous wide margins. He doesn't want to go into his last term limping like Goldwater with a 5000 vote win.

Hayworth held his seat for 6 terms before losing in 2006 (like a lot of Republicans, with the national malaise over Bush, spending and war going on...)
That means he won 6 out of 7 contests...so why the long face about him?
