Sen. McCain faces toughest re-election challenge
AP/YahooNews ^ | 2/12/10 | JONATHAN J. COOPER

Defeated just two years ago as the Republican presidential candidate and with his bonafides as a true conservative again being challenged, John McCain finds himself in a struggle to get even his party's nomination for another term in the Senate.

Conservatives, independents and Tea Party activists are lining up behind Republican challenger and former talk radio host J.D. Hayworth, reflecting a rising tide of voter frustration with incumbent politicians. Only 40 percent of Arizonans have a favorable view of McCain's job performance.

Palin knows what she is doing. I don’t think she’ll find time to do another appearance.

I wouldn’t mind her doing something like that, out of gratitude and decent politeness.

I agree. Sarah is being classy.

That said, outside endorsements are not going to affect this race. McCain is a four term Senator well known by his State and this election will be a referendum on him by and for Arizonans.

McCain should have had the decency to retire, and he could have done so with dignity. That he chose not to, he deserves to be soundly defeated and sent packing.

They (AZ media, Hayworth, and Simcox) will hold her feet to the fire on the number one issue in the campaign, amnesty.

Palin would be wise to rescind her support for McAmnesty.

Political suicide. She knows what she is doing. As for JD, if he wins he better not disappoint and return to his pork and towing the party line ways. I hope he goes back wiser and as a rebel rouser!

Waiting on his defeat. I just hope JDhayworth can overcome the money gap.

Unfortunately, there’s the way we want it to be, and the way it really is...

But then again...Massachusetts stunned the crap outta me; and the other douchebag Kennedy drops out... ergo, ANYTHING is possible.

I hope McCain keeps that train-wreck of a daughter of his in plain sight. She is JD Hayworth’s best weapon.

Juan will be taking either the Ted or Patrick route out of the Congress; but he will be gone.

Juan also is trying to place a ban on health food products, vitamins and like, claiming these are dangerous and have killed numbers of people. Far—FAR MORE people have been killed by prescription drugs! What’s next, a ban on fatty food, sugar, etc?

Some people posting on FR support this guy--contrary to even 'loose' conservative princiiples! Some trash JD w/out mentioning Juan. How can a conservative support him when he has nothing but contempt for us? Called us a bunch of @ssholes!!

RINOs in general have been trying their damndest to push us away.
