Some highlights from JD's announcement speech:

...This senate seat does not belong to any one party or any one personality – and it most certainly does not belong to the Washington establishment. It belongs to the people of Arizona, and they you will decide who occupies it for the next six years.

Ooh, shades of Scott Brown...only...Brown is doing robo-calls for McJuan. Interesting...

That’s why, if elected, I pledge that I will serve no more than two terms – provided the people will have me even that long...So after two terms, I’ll come home for good. This seat belongs to the people and there it shall be returned.

Very interesting. Another stark contrast to McCain.

To continue...
Let me make one other thing clear right up front. While John and I have, to put it mildly, out sized personalities, it is my intention to run this campaign on the issues. I have the utmost respect and admiration for what John McCain has given our country. But I do have serious and profound disagreements with John about the choices he’s made as Senator.

Go, JD, go!

“Thank you for your service, John McCain, but three decades in Washington is long enough."

"Three decades" is a little verbal gymnastics--I probably would have gone with the more accurate "almost a quarter of a century" Then, you get "century" and McCain in the same sentence. But, JD's quote has way more class than my, "Thank you for your service, John, now get out of the way. Please."

$16,000 not good enough.. I hoped he would start out better than that. Hopefully after his appearance in Cavuto this afternoon it’ll pick up.
