Former presidential candidate McCain battling for his political life against GOP conservative
A serious re-election fight wasn't what Republican John McCain expected when he returned to the Senate after losing the presidency.
But the four-term senator is battling for his political life in a race that embodies the volatility of an unpredictable election year. He's facing former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a fellow Republican pushing him farther to the right as GOP voters demand conservative purity in their candidates and punish those with ties to the Washington establishment.
Two longtime Senate incumbents have fallen

OUTRAGEOUS!
If McCain were to fall...it’d probably be the number one shocking event of the year. And it’d even send shock waves to the White House that lots of things are coming in November. But...I’m thinking McCain is likely to win is primary.
as GOP voters demand conservative purity in their candidates
No what they are asking is the the GOP candidates actually live up to the principals they claim on the campaign trail once they get to DC.
I think McCain has probably spent about $10 million so far and JD probably less then $500,000 and yet they are very close. Every street corner has a McCain sign on it, every day you get a piece of mail about McCain or slamming JD from the McCain camp, every day there are ads on the radio for McCain (don’t watch TV so can’t tell you there) but McCain is still in trouble.
I caught that also...
McCain is flooding the radio waves, and has now begun to send individual mailers to AZ residents. If he had worked this hard in 08 he might be president now.
Most Arizonans know that his frantic effort to save his seat is also an effort to pave the way for the election of his daughter to follow him. And she is even less popular that he is. The election is close, but he will probably win because he is spending millions to J.D.’s thousands.
Go home, John. It's somebody else's turn.
*ping*
It’s amazing McCain is still leading the race. The guy is a political disgrace.
Yeah, because we all know Democrat voters never demand Marxist/Stalinist purity, right ?
If Hayworth wins, can he win the general election?
“NO NO NO BERNAD IT’S ALL ABOUT ME DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND!”
/crazed McCain voice
Exactly! There comes a point in time where these old geezers just need to gather up their millions and head on home. For cryin out loud!
Once we get a new Congress installed, the newbies had better listen to the voters and not the lobbyists if they value their breathing rights.
Interesting
Juan the UBERRINO has to go.
A just and final reward for all that Bush-era sabotage and throwing the last election to the raghead commie.
I actually have found it hilarious all these people who are saying Davis lost because he “betrayed the left” because they basically gave a pass to all the whites who voted against him cause he was black and to the black organizations in Alabama who set out to destroy him last year because they thought he was unelectable cause he was black.
So the fact that everyone in the state thought that his being black made him unelectable was completely missed by the national media and the state ended up getting a pass in the media. It’s actually shocking to me.
pave the way for the election of his daughter to follow him
What a hoot
what are the chances of that?
So John wants to continue in Congress even after his death????
Go home John go home
It’s time !!!!!!!!!!!!!
