PHOENIX, AZ -- Rasmussen announced a new poll on Friday showing Senator John McCain may be in trouble at home where a polarized electorate has him facing constant criticism from both the left and the right. The poll shows McCain tied with former Congressman and current talk radio host J.D. Hayworth in a hypothetical Republican primary. Hayworth, who has become an outspoken local hero among immigration-control activists, lost his House seat to Rep. Harry Mitchell (D) in 2006. Since then, Hayworth has promoted the Tea Parties on his radio show and has spoken at Tea Party events, including the April 15 rally in Phoenix. Hayworth has expressed interest in running but has been tight-lipped on whether or not he intends to actually file as a candidate against McCain. Rasmussen has McCain at 45% and Hayworth at 43% (4% margin of error). Although McCain's loudest opponents from the right usually cite immigration as the key issue, Minutmen founder Chris Simcox only reached 4% in the poll. According to the poll, Hayworth is more popular overall among the GOP, especially among the younger GOP sect. McCain fares better with females and moderate Republicans. Rodney Glassman, the only Democrat who has filed to run against McCain, was not included in the poll. Glassman is a young Tucson city councilman who has the support of the local and state Democratic Party structure and is considered an up-and-comer in Arizona politics. McCain has not faced a serious challenge to his senate seat since 1986. UPDATE: On his radio show Friday, Hayworth discussed the results of the Rasmussen poll at length. Hayworth said discussions with his immediate family are "more than a topic of casual conversation." He indicated a desire to run, saying that he is in the "due diligence" phase and that the primary roadblock would be fundraising, specifically to pay off some debt. It should be noted that Hayworth is currently raising money recently to pay off debt left over from his days in the House; his debt is a result of fighting an investigation into his ties to Jack Abramoff.

Before I grab a drink and start celebrating prematurely, what do we know about Hayworth? Is he any better, or worse than McStain? Not that I would cheer on a lesser of two evils anyway, which I would not.
ABC News was saying tonight that McLunatic is in trouble,and may lose his Senate seat.

Hiya pete, I see Sarah Palin appeared with McCain, doing her best to get him re-elected. Yeah, she's not a RINO. Sure. Youbetcha! Goldi's in denial over at LP, and super-shill yukon (aka Ibluafartsky) will respond here to say Sarah's not even announced she's running as Pres so why ya pickin' on her...
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care.
Yup. She's in it for the money and to be a king maker now.

Well, we do know he didn't sponsor the CFR legislation or team up with Teddy Kennedy as a sponsor of another amnesty bill.
I've been pouring over his stand on the issues today, he asked for certain amendments, but supported the Patriot Act... I may post them tomorrow if I get the time, unless someone beats me to it. right now, I'm chilin and relaxin...&;-)
I watched the news tonight w/o volume. She looked like she was dressed like a dominatrix...or something like that.
Its the voice! I can't f'n stand her voice...
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
I have zero problem with McCain losing. Its amusing to watch him play a Conservative for a few months when his name is on a ballot. He's doesn't fall into a political catagory to me. He's just a cranky old man yelling at kids 'Get off my lawn!' in the US Senate. Whatever he thinks he hates upon waking, thats who or what he hates that particular day. He hated Bush beating him in the 2000 primaries, and he simply never ever forgave him. When you look at his votes and positions over the past decade, it all makes perfect sense. He was also very ticked with Conservatives who he blamed for giving 'his' nomination to. Again, in this light every vote makes perfect sense. He never got pissed with Obama, Had he done so, maybe he would have gone after him and pinned him down in the general election. It fits this pattern almost perfectly in my view. We have decades to examine with this guy. He's not a reliable vote for ANYONE. Nobody will miss him, except that idiot Lindsay Graham. JD....he's the GOP's answer to Al Franken.
my anti groupie can't get through life without me.
GREAT FUCKING NEWS!!!!
Goldi-Lox: You're one dumb-fucking bitch.
