This is going to be VERY interesting. And Jim Deakins? Please...Have you ever heard him speak. This is going to be a General Stockdale moment. Whatever you think of JD, he is a great speaker and debater. McCain just has all that experience. Deakins? OY.

Hayworth needs to hang the marxist muzzie in chief around Mccains neck and make it plain that his unbelievably inept campaign is the reason why there is a communist in the White House.

He should make lots of references to Husseins middle name while hes at it, and use it to make McCains head explode.

Or he can be a gentleman, and lose the election.

If the people of Arizona return McAmnesty to the Senate they are insane. Gluttons for punishment.

[pissant]

JD MUST start torpedoing McCain on his Reform Institute.

Questions for McCain during the debate

If you are really against illegal immigration as you have recently claimed, why did you sabotage the Sensenbrenner Bill with an Amnesty Bill?

Arizona was able to restrict illegal immigration without rewarding illegal aliens. Why did your immigration bill reward illegal aliens with the promise of restricting illegal immigration, when the same plan failed in 1986?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

There are so many things wrong with Senator McCain and not even enough time to explain it all! J.D. Hayworth has got to go after Senator McCain “big time”, and never stop!

[Rome2000]

McCain has a lot of nerve even running for reelection after his campaign against the marxist Obama, who in just over a year has has the deficit at 1.4 Trillion and the National Debt at 13 Trillion, not to mention Obamacare and his 2 racist and socialist Supreme Court nominees, and hes just getting started.

McCain ought to be ashamed of himself, the arrogance is breathtaking.

Captain Queeg and the used car salesman. Two losers. Arizona is a great state, and this is the best you can do?

[cranked]

Hope Hayworth mops the floor with the progressive RINO....

[Will88]

This is where JD can win it. All McCain’s flip/flops and backstabbing give JD a lot to work with. My main concern is the Arizona voters and their history of supporting candidates in statewide elections with such divergent views on issues, and the fact that many seem to be buying into Juan’s new found concern about border security.

[Artemis Webb]

What is the percentage of undecideds? Usually that's the only folks for whom the debate will have an effect.

[MountainWoman]

PING!!! We should definately go to this!!!!

[no dems]

Will C-SPAN carry this? I'd love to see it. If I can just not gag for everyone of the 75 times McCain will say: "My Friends......"

[no dems]

All Deakin could possibly do would be pull votes from J.D. and give McCain the GOP nomination for Senator again. I hope he comes across looking like a bumbling dufus brain.

[Red Steel]

A stalking horse for McCain?

[April Lexington]

This is GOOD NEWS. McCain doesn’t do too well in debates...

[Irish Eyes]

IMHO..Jim Deakins should not even be in the debate.

Do you know who the moderator will be?

GO JD !!!
