WestVirginiaRebel Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hot Air: Via Hot Air:...if there’s any state in America this year where tacking right is all upside and no downside, it’s Arizona, and Democrats would have much, much preferred to face Hayworth in the general. Per Rasmussen’s poll last month, Democrat Rodney Glassman trails Maverick 53/34 but leads Hayworth 43/38. So there’s your consolation, McCain-haters: If J.D. did pull the upset in the primary, there’s a fair chance that this seat would turn blue and destroy the GOP’s already slim chance of retaking the Senate.The only question now: Will McCain resort to his mavericky ways before the general to woo indies or would the sudden reemergence of McCain v1.0 be too risky with tea partiers already disgruntled and apt to stay home in November? Exit quotation from former McCain aide John Weaver: “The very thought of retiring and allowing a big government clown taking his place in the Senate is probably something he couldn’t get his head around… There was no way that at the end of the day J.D. Hayworth was going to defeat John McCain. Maybe more effort should’ve been made by others to convince J.D. not to run, because it was an unnecessary exercise for both of them, but probably cathartic for John. ________John McCain, whatever you might think, has been looking like the adult in this race-and Hayworth the buffoon.
