There are a lot of so-called conservatives who plan to vote for McCain over JD Hayworth. Maybe JD isn’t the perfect candidate, but we KNOW McCain is a stab-conservatives-in-the-back Republican, don’t we? If you want conservative government, you’d have to be a real moron (trying to be nice here) to vote for McCain.
I just want to warn folks that McCain is going to go scorched earth on JD. I only wish he would have used some of his million dollar war chest and political ire on Obama in 2008. No, he’s saved the lion’s share of it for JD, and you can bet he’ll pull out all the stops.
The point is, McCain supporters will do everything they can to spoil enthusiasm for JD. If they can convince people that JD doesn’t have a chance in the general election, McCain might win by virtue of being the perceived “electable” candidate (rather than on his own record, which STINKS!).
The contrast in tone between this race and the last one will be amusing.
