Right - important to keep focused on the vital, urgent issues at hand.
There are some distractions that Hayworth brings to the table. I must say, using a PAC as a bit of a piggy bank for your wife does bother me. I hope they’ve changed their ways...Even if JD and his wife had a past conflict of interest or two (Abramoff money to his TEAM PAC or some earmarks), and face it no politician is pure as the driven snow, there’s probably 98% of the sitting RAT caucus and 1/4 of sitting Republicans (recall McCain was one of the Keating five!) that are worse. Also, the Justice Department and the FBI didn’t think JD’s issues raised enough concern to pursue.
Bruce, I hear you, and I appreciate your responses.
I can’t vote in AZ, and I certainly have no problem getting McCain out of our political lives. Nor do I have a problem with JD as Senator Hayworth.
My original post questioned how a 6 term Congressman in a favorable district could lose. And the unstated, but obvious, follow-up is how would he (JD, that is) fare in a Senatorial campaign.
McCain aside, I would hate to see a GOP seat go Dem, and does JD have what it takes to win the seat...and, hopefully, keep it.
