McCain defeats conservative primary challenger

PHOENIX – Sen. John McCain routed conservative challenger J.D. Hayworth on Tuesday in the Republican primary in what could be the final campaign for the former GOP presidential nominee.

McCain spent more than $20 million to beat back an aggressive challenge from Hayworth, who relentlessly attacked the senator for his shifting stance on immigration and sought to tap into the anti-incumbent rage that has taken down other lawmakers in 2010.

Two years after his bitter loss in pursuit of the White House, the 73-year-old McCain now begins a final 10-week push and will be the heavy favorite. The Democratic race was still undecided, but whoever emerges will have an uphill fight in heavily conservative Arizona.

That means McCain will likely be back in the Senate next year, raising a number of questions about the future of a gridlocked Washington.

Will he work with Democrats again? Will he play a role in immigration legislation? Will he be Obama's chief nemesis?

"My guess is that he will move back a little bit to trying to be a consensus builder, someone who will try to bring Democrats and Republicans together," said Bruce Merrill, a former pollster and McCain staffer who was surprised by the senator's sudden move to the right. "I hope so."

Hayworth, a former congressman and talk-radio host, had hoped to win over conservatives frustrated with McCain's famous willingness to buck his party and work with Democrats on issues like campaign finance, immigration and climate change.

In response, McCain abandoned his maverick label and cast aside one of the most powerful brands in American politics as he fought to reassure conservatives they could trust him, namely by taking a harder stance on border issues amid the debate over Arizona's immigration law.

McCain also portrayed Hayworth as a big-spending creature of Washington and a late-night infomercial "huckster."

In 2007, Hayworth appeared in an infomercial pitching free government money on behalf of a company accused of swindling customers out of thousands of dollars.

Four Democrats are vying to take on McCain, and they all lack the broad name recognition of McCain and the huge bank account that the incumbent has from his 2008 presidential campaign.

McCain has never lost an election in his home state and has rarely faced serious opposition since he succeeded Barry Goldwater in the Senate in 1986.

In an e-mail to reporters Tuesday morning, McCain spokesman Brian Rogers recalled a half-dozen ways the campaign exploited Hayworth missteps to knock him to the ground, including the infomercial and his support of the birther movement questioning President Barack Obama's citizenship.

Rogers closed with this: "The Democrats will choose their nominee today. Who wants to be next?"

I like that tagline.......how fitting it is.

Retarded voters, and open primaries, a bad combination.


My joy over McCain's defeat, is offset by my disappointment over hObama's victory.

Yet we are to believe they voted for McCain? They rigged this one obviously. I used to believe votes were real. I still vote but don't believe that we actually pick. The winner is chosen for us. They probably don't rig them all just the "important" ones. I believe the Governor's race in California will be rigged. Whitman will be the winner. She will seem the lesser of two evils against Brown.

All the open primaries do is shut out the third parties. Make no mistake about it, this vote was rigged.

Indeed!

Can Hayworth run as an Independent? Surely he'd be able to defeat McStain and the DemcatLameBrain handily, in light of the strong anti-illegal alien sentiments of Arizona's mainstream electorate.

Will he work with Democrats again?

Will the sun continue to rise in the east? I would bet on it.

Will he play a role in immigration legislation?

"My friends, we need workers to pick our crops. Americans won't do it for fifty dollars an hour. I hereby propose legislation giving Juan, Hector, Jiminez and all their family and friends automatic citizenship and the first born child of every American." So sayeth John McLame.

Will he be Obama's chief nemesis?

Will he nudge out Larry Sinclair as Obama's number one lover?

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.
