So, what specific stances on the issues do you think caused Arizonans to prefer McCain over Hayworth?
Will, I have no idea what motivated Arizonans to vote for McCain, other than the fact that JD was simply more flawed than him.
As I pointed out, long ago on other threads, JD, after 6 terms as Congressman couldn’t beat his Dem opponent in 2006, in a reliably conservative district (and don’t give me that jazz that redistricting changed the dynamics...it was still 57% GOP) and my question then was, “if he can’t win in his own district, how can he win statewide?”
Answer: he can’t and didn’t.
As to the “stances on the issues” you best answer that yourself.
