John McCain Goes Maverick on J.D. Hayworth

It is funny but is it fair? We think so.

John McCain faces a tough primary challenge in his bid for reelection to the U.S. Senate. The conservative wing of the Republican Party found a former Congressman and radio talk show host named J.D. Hayworth to run against McCain.

If the conservative wing had supported McCain more enthusiastically in 2008, he might be President today. Instead many vowed in the spring of 2008 to vote for Hillary Clinton. McCain had to settle for staying in his U.S. Senate seat for Arizona. Now they want to deny him that office too.
