Sen. McCain faces toughest re-election challenge

Defeated just two years ago as the Republican presidential candidate and with his bonafides as a true conservative again being challenged, John McCain finds himself in a struggle to get even his party's nomination for another term in the Senate.

Conservatives, independents and Tea Party activists are lining up behind Republican challenger and former talk radio host J.D. Hayworth, reflecting a rising tide of voter frustration with incumbent politicians. Only 40 percent of Arizonans have a favorable view of McCain's job performance.

“I was wondering about that. A general poll is nothing — what do the republicans think of McCainiac? “

I know quite a few people out here, and I do not know one McCain supporter. Most Republicans seem to be sick of him. Everyone loves a winner, and people don’t like a loser ;-)

I live in Arizona, and it is obvious McCain is toast.

First of all McCain has women problems. His wife is off promoting gay rights and supposedly camapigning for Grant Woods the AZ AG. His daughter is trasjr is trashing the tea party movement.

Then McCain has systematically thrown his base under the bus. Meanwhile JD has made it very clear where he stands for years now to his radio audience on KFYI. KFYI boasts that it has an audience of one million.

JD also has the teaprty movement support. McCain is so much toast. He is out and there is no doubt.

Senator JD is taking his place.

what do the republicans think of McCainiac? That’s the question right now...

In the article, it reports McCain's approval among his own party at.......51%.

For a long-time incumbent, that's verging on "in trouble".

I saw the same thing happen with former rat leader, Tom Dascshle [or however you spell Das-hole]. A tough race [or primary] adds to the pressure. I also noticed how McCain took conservatives more seriously on the 2008 campaign trail [just not seriously enough — but we now have Palin].

NO JOKE

If you have an electric heating pad. Put it right where the pain is when you retire tonight. The head of rehab at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica told me this, and it has saved me untold agony over the years.

Thank you Okie. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to get the truth out about this turkey then. No need to get overconfident about Hayworth.

I didn’t realize he only had 51% approval from Republican voters. That certainly sounds like the kiss of death. I’ll be delighted to see the last of him in public life. The MSM gave him a ton of publicity over the years, because they loved the way he made trouble for his party. But I haven’t seen any of that this time around. I think they’ve written him off.

If McCain loses the primary, I bet he jumps to another party.

Ibuprofen actually reduces inflamation, unlike tylenol which only tricks the brain. [But if you have borderline high blood pressure, you need to be careful.]

Arthritis hot rub works wonders — even vicks vapor-rub. If that doesn’t get you, you can open the area with a [very] warm washcloth and then rubbing alchohol before applying the hot cream. It will burn like heck, but that relaxes the muscles.

What's the big deal? RINOs protecting their own, how sweet. The voters will decide. Repeat: NO MORE NANNYSTATE, TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT, BIPARTISAN DEALS, CAP AND TRADE, SCREW CONSERVATIVES!!!

And forcing us to see a doctor to get a prescription for VITAMINS AND HEALTH PRODUCTS.

(on that note: Is Juan a kind of sidewinder preparing this latest outrage fueled by connections to Big Pharma? Perhaps banking on SOCIALIZED MED being passed & made into law along with his bill to restrict/outlaw health store products?)

What we need is protection from Juan McCain's POISON PILLS--years of them--the CURE IS TO VOTE HIM OUT!
