Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who is facing a heated challenge in the Republican primary from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, has a TV ad taking a hard line -- and a folksy line, as well -- on border security, essentially countering Hayworth's attacks against Mccain's past support for comprehensive immigration reform.
The ad shows McCain walking along the Mexican border with a county sheriff, who for his part endorses McCain's proposal to bring the National Guard to the border. McCain adds: "And complete the danged fence."
The TPM Poll Average currently gives McCain a lead of 49.2%-38.2%.

Right, b/c bashing McCain does what? No matter which way you slice it, he is STILL BETTER then jd the bowhard. McCain has proven he works for the people that voted him to office. The media would say this is flip flopping, I would say, any politician that thought one thing and turned around when hearing what his constituents believed, is exactly what govt is about. As for JD, well that is a long story that should not even be an issue. JD is as bad as they come...JD cannot find an endorsement, I am sure he will start paying people to say they like him! JD leaves us with many great memories, whether it be Abramoff, losing his seat to a democrat, ethical issues, issues about his lack of intelligence, being a huge blowhard, being a huge boozer, being a continuous egomaniac who does not have the experience needed to succeed in Washington (and he has already proven that to us!) I had decided JD was far too inexperienced, immature, egotistical and unethical to vote for him. McCain is the third most fiscally conservative member in Senate and that along with his integrity, we have a solid Senator.

How are people even talking about JD anymore? JD has not campaigned at all for this race, he has spent all his time and energy bashing McCain. I find it completely hypocritical for JD to find fault in a politician! JD could not be any more unethical, so unethical he lost a job in Congress and a job in radio...
