McCain spent $21 million this time. FYI:
When McCain was elected to the Senate in 2004 he received 1,505,372 votes.
something is wrong with that state..and Sarah for supporting McCain.
Sarah and Jan Brewer support McSlime plus Myth Romney and other RINOs.
Sickening. Go JD.
I just can’t hate Sarah on this one. I know, I know. But there is an element of class that comes into play here. McCain is the one person responsible for advancing Palin’s career. She really can’t win for losing on this one, and I think that she did what she had to do.
Go AZ! Go JD!
Indeed, McCain did bring Sarah on the national scene, but Sarah Palin also brought his campaign back to life. She nearly had it won for him and he went ahead and blew it again with the idiotic, mamby-pamby way he handled the debates and a number of other blunders. I can not stand that man.
Anyone in Arizona, with early voting and the growth in absentee ballots most places, does Arizona still have its vote count results the night of election day?

I once actually liked and donated to McCain in 2000. I far prefer JD in 2010. McCain twists and turns like a tethered balloon in the wind. Once elected he will work for amnesty just as he did 5 years ago.
Thanks but no thanks to McCain the opportunist.
Thanks for that information.
Throw the ruling class out!
Voting starts at 6:00 A.M. I think I shall show up in my JD Hayworth T-shirt to see if they kick me out.
I never mentioned hate...strong word.
but supporting him and Romney is a little much..
I bet McCain thinks he can run again in 2012
Good Morning!
I showed up in my JD Hayworth T-shirt and they made me turn it inside out. No matter how it turns out I used my chance to vote against McLame without having to vote for a RAT.Any bets on how long it takes McLame before he stabs us in the back again?
It’s standard in most polling places that you can’t bring or wear any campaign material with 100 yards of the polling site. You can stand outside and campaign.
How does the turnout look so far?
I suspect a low turnout would aid JD Hayworth a great deal.
Turnout is low in my area. At 9 am (3 hours into voting) there were only 44 and it was noted by one of the workers that it was VERY slow. It is hot and muggy today already.
With 44 votes in (all parties), my family alone will account for nearly 10% of that.
I don’t think McCain voters are worried or super motivated in this area, especially with reports of how well McCain is doing in the polls... supposedly.
We shall see.
BTW... On our ballots, Hayworth is at the top, followed by McCain, then Deakin.
Cool.
Way cool. Have a great day!
Even his senate brothers have nothing good to say about the old fool.
[snip]Aug. 23, 2010 - Reached on vacation in California, Mr. DeConcini, 73, who served 21 years in the Senate, made clear first that he was no fan of Mr. McCain. “We’re not the least bit friendly,” he said.
Then he went on to analyze the candidate. “It’s not that I was above changing my positions, but McCain has made it an art form,” he said. “He was a maverick, but I guess he’s not anymore. One thing he is is vulnerable. He can’t change that.”

AND
Transformers: John McCain, Charlie Crist Both Changed During Primaries
ABC Aug. 23
[snip]The transformations have so far paid off for both men. In Arizona, McCain is now the clear frontrunner in the primary after spending $20 million. In Florida, a Quinnipiac University poll showed Crist leading both Republican former state House Speaker Marco Rubio and the two Democrats vying for a spot on the ballot in November – Rep. Kendrick Meek and billionaire Jeff Greene.
ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked McCain about the perception that he was changing his positions for the primary back in March.
“What happened to the old John McCain? The John McCain that worked with Democrats, that reached across party lines, you know, was a thorn in the side of his own party, what happened?” Karl asked.
Take immigration. In 2008, in the heat of the presidential campaign, McCain told Univision that his plan for the Mexican border did not include “fences and walls,” but facing a tough Republican primary challenge from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, McCain cut a television ad in which he walked along a remote border fence with an Arizona sheriff and said, “Complete the dang fence.”
McCain had cosponsored comprehensive immigration reform legislation with Sen. Ted Kennedy in years past, but now argues that the borders must be better secured before a more comprehensive solution can be pursued. He was one of a handful of Republicans to vote with most Democrats in favor of comprehensive immigration reform legislation supported by President Bush in 2005 and 2006.
I just got back from voting for JD.
Down here in Sierra Vista, McCain is on top followed by Deakin then JD.
We had 27 voters in the first hour - slow.
Godspeed JD!
I had to wait for 3 people. I was number 13 according to the scanning machine. The news is saying turnout is about 25%.
Sierra Vista. Right near the border? Unbelievable.
Go JD!
Tonight, as soon as the polls close.
I place my bet on November 5. He still has to win the general election.
My guess is that JD would benefit...
Special Election Night Ping: 2010 Ariz. US Senate GOP Primary
Update: Tue. 08/24/2010 18:20 EDT / 15:20 local time Phoenix, Ariz. (approx.)
McCain votes: `Taking nothing for granted' (KTAR-FM 92.3 Phoenix)
Light turnout expected in state's first Aug. primary (illegals, SB 1070 top issues in Ariz.) (KTAR-FM 92.3 Phoenix)
The news reports are saying turnout in AZ is low. I am not in AZ but I would guess JD voters are motivated.
Go JD! McCain is a rat.
Bump.
Thanks, calcowgirl!
Phoenix weather report: 110 degrees and 17% humidity
bttt
How many Arizona voters who support Palin do you think were convinced to vote for McCain because of her endorsement? I would estimate around zero.
McCain Sucks!
I’m Dream Warrior and I approve this message.
If he gets back in the Senate, it will be more painful than ever. No matter who controls the body, the votes will be close and McCain just loves that. He’ll go all gibbery-goo again as the press falls all over him.
Big John is way past his shelf life....needs to retire and make his peace.
I'm AOV and I approve of your approval.
Since AZ doesn’t observe DST, don’t the polls close at 7 EST?
