Hayworth to throw hat in ring for McCain's seat
2010-02-16
(CNN) -- The GOP's 2008 presidential nominee has earned a primary challenge from the right on Presidents Day.

J.D. Hayworth, a former congressman from Arizona and radio host, is scheduled to announce formally Monday that's he's challenging Republican John McCain for his U.S. Senate seat.

Hayworth was to announce his candidacy at a news conference at his new campaign office in Phoenix. The event kicks off a scheduled three-day, 10-stop campaign swing through Arizona.

Hayworth, who served six terms in the House of Representatives before losing his 2006 re-election bid, stepped down last month as host of a conservative talk-radio program in Phoenix. He said he respects McCain's service but said the senator's been in Washington too long and isn't conservative enough.

"We all love and think the world of John and John's place in history is secure," the 51-year old Hayworth said Friday. "But John no longer represents the common sense conservative philosophy that most Arizonans share."

#7  McCain outstayed his expiration date.

Don't go away angry, just go away.

I'm sending money to Hayworth.

#6  Flush multiple times. A huge turd like McCain will take a lot of work to get rid of.

#4  McCain seems to be 'pal'ling around with Lindsay Graham much these days...

#3  #1 & #2 are correct. McCain is unprincipled and his attitudes on various legislation are all over the map. He is more than willing to sell out any kind of conservative economic principles or constitutional gaurantees.

Deserves praise for his service but I think that his POW time may have loosened too many screws.

#2  in my estimation almost any praise of McCain outside his military service is generous. he is the prototypical RINO
