The Amazing Race? Conservative Reality Show Stars Current (And Failed) GOP Candidates

This is the true story of six Republicans, picked to live in a house, work together and have their lives taped, to find out what happens when people stop being polite, and start getting real...

Poll: McCain In Dead Heat In Potential 2010 GOP Primary For Re-Election


Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)

A new Rasmussen poll finds that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) could potentially be in trouble with Republican voters back home in Arizona, where he's often faced criticism from the right for his views on immigration.

In a potential Republican primary for his 2010 re-election, the 2008 GOP nominee for President is in a dead heat with former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a hard-line conservative who lost his seat in the 2006 Democratic wave.

The numbers: McCain 45%, Hayworth 43%, with a ±4% margin of error. A third candidate who is already in the race, former Minuteman leader Chris Simcox, gets 4%.

From the pollster's analysis: "For McCain, the GOP Primary appears to be his biggest challenge since no major Democrats in the state have stepped forward yet to run against him."
