Poll: McCain Ahead Of Hayworth By Only Seven Points

AZ Dems need to get their act together. McCain is beatable -- Hayworth would be even more vulnerable than McCain if he should get the nomination.

Here's how I would love to see this play out.

Palin stumps for McCain. McCain loses. Palin's kingmaker credibility tarnishes a bit. Lieberman and Graham seen in the Hart Senate Office Building holding each other and sobbing hot tears of rage. Bitter, bitter concession speech by McCain.

Strong Dem opponebnt announces. Hayworth's true colors shine. More stupid statements like Man-Horse-Love. Polls narrow. GOP pours a lot of money into Arizona, money that could go elsewhere.

In that scenario, if a Dem wins, hallelujah. If Hayworth wins, it was a Republican seat anyway, but McCain is no longer on my television set as David Gregory's sidekick every other goddamned Sunday.

In case you missed it, McCain and Lieberman have introduced a bill that would give the President the ability suspend habeus corpus for American citizens suspected of terrorism.

If I were Hayworth I would make hay out of this... :)

McCain is a RINO and ran a miserable race in 2008. He should do like Parker Griffith did and switch parties, that way he wouldn't have to trip over his shoelaces as he lurched to the left to reach across the isle. Democrats will lose miserably if AZ conservatives rally around Hayworth.

is this the best the GOP can do? how sad. The GOP list of folks needing a DSM IV diagnosis include Hayworth, Bachman, Boehner, Bunning, Inhofe, the AG of Virginia, Jim Demint, and Andre Bauer who compared welfare recipients to stray animals. Then Mr. Beck tells us to avoid churches preaching Christian action, and Liz Cheney becomes Joe McCarthy redux.

And as a child I thought Goldwater was bad....the GOP does nothing constructive. It's existence is purely a strategy of negative, blocking input.

Palin will be in Arizona schtupping for McCain.
Oops, sorry, I meant to say 'stumping' for McCain.

Hayworth could win, even if he is behind in the polls. His voters are far more passionate than McCain's. Also, if McCain does win the GOP nomination, many of the Hayworth voters will be angry and stay home at the general election. Democrats would be wise to put up their best candidate and invest money in a fight for this seat. Janet Napolitano could beat either of these men. In a way it is a shame she went to Homeland Security.

Arizona is a state Democrats should go after. Last time around the odds were better in Arizona than Tennessee. Kyl could have been beaten.

Ever since Napolitano left for Homeland Security, Dems in Arizona have been pretty thin. The likely candidate against McCain is Rodney Glassman who is currenty VICE-mayor of Tucson. His two advantages are that he's self financing and is crazy enough to think that a city councilman could beat a 6 term incumbent.

McCain is going to get re-elected. As long as he keeps doing what he's dong and JD continues to look like a complete jacka** on National TV and Radio. Both candidates definitely have flaws, but McCain is by far the superior candidate.

From Rage-o-holic to Certified Wingnut. Change we can believe in.

McCain suspends campaign over crisis...

I have a hard time believing that many people can look beyond the disgusting past of JD, the lack of an intelligent interview, and the lack of peer support to say they could vote for him??!!

Napalitano is a complete joke, she was in AZ and she is even more of a joke in Washington. As for the election btwn JD and McCain, it is not only 7 points. I have spoken to nobody who would even consider voting for JD. JD has a terrible reputation in AZ. JD was not only voted the dumbest member in Congress by his peers when he was there but he has a problem associating with criminals. NO thank you on JD, no more corruption needed in Washington!
