Stupid, but if all they’ve got is a commercial he made its pretty thin stuff. If you’re in radio and TV you do commercials. If you’re going to run for office later you should probably try to avoid doing anything really embarrassing, like men’s enhancement products or adult diapers or free government giveaways.
McCain, on the other hand, is still McCain. He’s taken time out from trampling the constitution underfoot and toadying up to the Obamists and the Sorosians just long enough to wrap up the election so he can get back to trampling and toadying full time.
It's not that it is embarrassing for the huckster-quality, it's that Hayworth is portraying himself as a fiscal conservative ... sorry, I don't buy the "Well, my friend J.C. Watts did one, I thought it was okay" whine. It's also not as though he's new to the table re: how bad the debt/annual deficit is to the nation, I remember well statements he made on the Floor back in the *revolution* years.
ON THE OTHER HAND, McCain is a total hypocrite himself, since I understand he's got a link on his own site on how to get yourself gubmint money, apply for grants. They are no different from pork barrel projects, ways to garner votes from folks by giving out tax dollars. BOTH of these pols are at fault, on the wrong side here -- unfortunately, Hayworth pulled a boner and it is going to cost him, worse, us.

Regrettably, it’ll probably be enough. There are a lot of weird and/or foolish people out here whoa re likely to swallow this — and besides, Hayworth isn’t doing enough to fight back or get his message out anyway... his whole campaign is doing so many things half-@$$ed that it’ll be a miracle if he beats McShame.
