Well it looks like the people of Arizona weren't really too motivated to send John McCain out to the RINO retirement home, as only around 23% of registered voters made it out to the polls today to cast votes to send him back to DC. That's for the most part right around their normal turnout for an off year primary.
I personally was hoping to see a big revolt of a Hayworth victory, but I think the 'huckster government loan' commercial he did to pay some bills are what likely did him in. How can you say you're for cooling government waste but whore yourself out for no payback government loans?
You can't.
Hopefully at least McCain actually wins the seat in November, after all he's still better than a democrat. Almost.
It was good to see the voters get behind Jan Brewer who's single handedly fighting Illegal Immigration with the help of the Border Patrol and a couple thousand National Guard.
Now if Obama would send about 50 thousand more we'd be in business.

FOXNews.com - "Sen. John McCain fended off Republican challenger J.D. Hayworth in the Arizona Senate primary
Tuesday, virtually assuring he'll keep his seat in November despite signs earlier in the year that the anti-Washington wave could wipe out one of Capitol Hill's most influential residents.
Hayworth at one point in the campaign seemed poised to leverage Tea Party support and give McCain a run for his political life. Outsider challenges had already led to the primary defeats for Republican Utah Sen. Bob Bennett and Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, and McCain was potentially vulnerable nearly two years after losing the 2008 presidential election to Barack Obama.

Arizona
Republican Gov.
Jan Brewer is headed to the general election after handily winning a GOP primary marked by a surge in her popularity after she targeted illegal immigration. full story
Event though the RINO won, :( .... the numbers is what jumps out at me. 246K voted on the Dem ticket, 500K voted on the GOP ticket in AZ, twice as many. And 1.3M vs 900K in Fl Senate race... Shows an energized GOP
ReplyDeleteI wished he would have campaigned as hard in 2008 as he did in 2010
ReplyDeleteThe people of Arizona spoke. He is <span>their choice</span>. He has never taken Pork, he is honest with them and he loves this country with a passion very few have.
