How embarrassing is this? A U.S. Senator, John McCain, for some crazy reason, decided to run for State Committeeman in Arizona.

So, the Senator puts his name on the ballot, loses. Then claims he really didn’t intend to run? Who is naive enough to believe that? Why would a U.S. Senator, running for President of the United States run for State Committeeman, in his own local district AND LOSE—THIS HAS TO BE EMBARRASSING. Those that know him best didn’t feel he could serve them as a Committeeman? Yet he wants to be President of the United States?

Worse, a former Governor runs, as his supporter, and also loses. The former Guv runs against an open opponent of McCain. What does this say about the way the activists in Arizona think of Senator McCain? He may be their Senator, but they don’t want him as their committeeman. Once again, as McCain proved since the Bush election in 2000, he is a divisive force inside the GOP. McCain stopped Bush from his judicial appointments and, in affect, wanted veto power over the President. On issue after issue, such as so-called campaign finance reform, which has shut down free speech within 60 days of an election, McCain has worked closely with the Democrats against the interests of honest citizens.

While this, in the context of world events, is not a big deal, a US Senator losing a very minor race like this has to make his face redder than the jersey of a Crimson Tide football player. Or as red as the face of a citizen having his free speech gagged by McCain.

Write your thoughts about McCain directly on the web site for all to see and discuss. If you lived in his district, would your have voted for him?

Pass this around the Internet—let others see John McCain as his neighbors see him.

Never heard this. Can anyone add any background to this? And what is he polling in AZ now anyways?

No idea. That’d be really odd, even for McCain. But I do know that he got 77% in his last senate race, in 2004. So he does have significant support, it would seem.
