My 1st 2010 prognostication
I don't claim to be clairvoyant.
I don't claim to be a political prognosticator.
I don't even claim to be a big fan of electoral politics.
But I am going to make a prediction today about a U.S. Senate race being held in Arizona this year.
U.S. Sen. John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, is going to get beat. Remember where you heard it.
Well, the dirty little secret is that not all the bums are Democrats.
And that's where McCain comes in. He's toast.
Whether he knows it or not, McCain is not going to be re-elected. The people of Arizona have had enough of his arrogance and big-government ideas and so have Americans.
The only question left is whether he will be beaten by a Democrat or taken out by a real Republican.
I'm hoping for the latter and the man for that job is J.D. Hayworth, former House member and, until recently, an Arizona talk-show host.
If you would like to support J.D. Hayworth in his battle to unseat Sen. John McCain, make a contribution to his campaign at his website.
I like J.D. Hayworth, and I hereby endorse his candidacy unequivocally. He's the best hope Republicans have of holding on to that Senate seat in November. McCain is yesterday's news.
He's been there too long. He's become comfortable in Washington. And he's especially too cozy with the other party – the one on the verge of bankrupting America.
Question for Arizonians? Can McCain buy their vote?
Sen. John McCain's re-election campaign started the year with $5,054,667.96 in its war chest, more than $50,000 more than it had at the end of September, according to his campaign finance report for the last three months of 2009. McCain, R-Ariz., started the fourth quarter with $5,003,814.77. He raised $811,658.32 from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31 and spent $760,805.13 in the same period.
The fourth-quarter reports are due to the Federal Election Commission by the end of Sunday, but AZ/DC obtained an early copy of McCain's. McCain's most high-profile likely GOP primary foe, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, technically is still "testing the waters" and has not formally announced for the Senate seat. Hayworth last week set up a Web site to take online donations.
