I almost didn't make it. I did not check my E-mail until 10:30AM today and found out volunteer work was already underway! Hoping to at least catch the tail end of things I rushed out to 3129 Cactus street. I had stopped by that address on Thursday only to see empty office space , a bare concrete floor and a large "For Rent" sign. Today when I got there it was a beehive of activity. Most of the volunteers were retirees who spent more time talking than working, but who could blame them? How often does one find oneself completely surrounded by sane people who love this country?
I met some fine people today, not the least of which was Mary Hayworth, JD's wife. JD himself was not there because he was in Florida. Mary's about 5 feet tall and blond. I could tell right away she's a firm supporter of her Husband's cause. "Things have just kept lining up, the Lord has some kind of plan for us" she said (or at least something close to that).
By the time I got there the carpet was already down, and must of the furniture was already assembled into cubicles. I helped move a bunch of heavy stuff around including a large wooden stage that had been built just out front. By the way we had a bunch of extra office panels. Anybody wanting some free ones can just drive on out and take what they'd like ,it's just piled out there by the trash can.
While we were working the call went out: come on out! It's picture time. Some of the volunteers out front had created some hand made signs. We grabbed a few for the picture. Late to arrive, at least I was in time to be in the shot.
I'm looking forward to putting out regular updates for this campaign. Until next time.
Those ads are pitiful. They are playing in Tucson on the Limbaugh Show. Johnny has this snarky woman who sounds like a lib attacking Hayworth.
How do I know it’s for real? Has he announced?
He's married to a millionairess, has 7 houses (at least....it's so hard to keep count, ya know?), and he's past the age of retirement.
Talk about love of power. It's really sickening.
Mrs. Prince of Space
He’s been rolling out his announcement all week and next week, at different campaign stops. Yes, that’s his website.
Martha Coakley had all the push of the DNC and whatever was behind it. She lost.
McCain is now the new Scozzafava meaning that the Republican party is making the same mistake and backing the wrong horse. JD is very, very media savvy and the rest of the Republican base hates McCain.
Give me a break. McCain has no base. 70-80 million Republicans are gunning for him. He is finished. Toast. The Republican hiearchy is still full of Rinos and need to be liquidated and sanitized. They refuse to learn. This is a battle of the old Republican guard verses the new Republican guard.
You smell that bread burning? He is toast, toast, toast!!!
Did you really want to ping me with your comments? I’m the one who’s working for Hayworth! I do believe Hayworth will win but it’s going to quite an drawn out battle. McCain started the attack ads weeks before Hayworth even announced.
Awesome! Thanks!
If they are upsetting people all over the state then he is doing JD a favor running them.
what was he doing in Florida?
Thanks for your willingness to help, but we face a tough obstacle: the stubbornness of Republican primary voters in AZ.
They are seeing the effects of continual prayer by millions of Americans.
I know he started the attack ads early which made me think that they must really be concerned they will lose their shorts. The other thing is that McCain wants to appear like an ultra conservative when he has done so many things in the opposite that he is no longer credible.
I also believe his base is gone. I don’t think McCain has a chance.
Ms. Prince - While power is certainly a large part of what drives guys like McCain, I think it’s more than that. The guys in the Senate are his friends - at least the older ones - and they are his family. Cindy and his mom are relatives. Retire to do what? I am sure he has no bucket list - already been there and done that. That’s why term limits are important before this kind of mindset develops and they become entrenched. McCain needs to go.
They were blue on the election maps until the Clinton years, when the MSM realized that democrat=red=reality.
Thanks for the update, Nateman. Are you resolved (and have the wherewithal) to work for JD full time even if a job were to become available? If not, what do you do? I’ll keep my ears to the ground for you.
We’d love to get those periodic reports on the campaign. It wouldn’t surprise me if Johnny Boy decided not to run.

Can you explain that for those of us who do not live in AZ? Thanks.
Tough choice. I’ll do what I can to pay the bills but I’d like to work for Hayworth all the way to Washington.
