McCain facing 2010 primary
Politico ^ | Ben Smith

Posted on 04/21/2009 9:25:25 AM PDT by Hawk720

Social conservatives tolerated John McCain as the party's nominee, but never trusted him, and he now appears to be facing a serious primary from the right in Arizona next year.

Chris Simcox, the founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and a prominent figure in the anti-immigration movement, is announcing today he's resigned from the group to run in the 2010 Senate primary.

From a forthcoming release:

"John McCain has failed miserably in his duty to secure this nation's borders and protect the people of Arizona from the escalating violence and lawlessness," Simcox said. "He has fought real efforts over the years at every turn, opting to hold our nation's border security hostage to his amnesty schemes. Coupled with his votes for reckless bailout spending and big government solutions to our nation's problems, John McCain is out of touch with everyday Arizonans. Enough is enough."

Word of advice to Chris Simcox,

Make a call to that Alaska governor just to see if she would be interested in campaigning for you.

Now's the time for Juan McLame to be retired to that lettuce farm he's always dreamed of.

I’m sure McCain has already made that call. You can count on it.

Well,on one hand,that’s a good thing.On the other...how much legislative or political experience does he have? Then again,we have a no-account socialist weasel in office who couldn’t find his you-know-what with a funnel and a flashlight.This guy couldn’t do any worse,and may very well do better,than McCain.

The gop will destroy Simcox. And he’s given them plenty of ammo. Yes, if I were in Az, I’d vote for Simcox over McCain, but AZ needs a better answer to McCain than Simcox.

I wonder if Simcox stalks Meghan McCain, like Karl Rove does. (on Tweeter, or whatever).
