“For all Hayworth’s possible flaws, many feel it is time to send McCain into an honorable retirement. And primaries are the place to do it.”
Once again though, if Hayworth has flaws, why send him back in there? Why not back another candidate? He is NOT an “outsider” and my recollection is that he had a lot of baggage and voted yea on some not-too-conservative issues. Am I wrong? Why not take advantage of the throw the bums out atmosphere and REALLY clean house?
Is there really no one else? I don’t think it takes a big name and big war chest anymore...isn’t that the idea, to get a conservative that might actually be a change?
It’s a fair point that a third person may be better still. I’m not an Arizonan and, from an outsider’s perspective, the coverage suggests that “it’s Hayworth or McCain” (in the primary) at this point in the process.
