Hayworth Gearing Up For Senate Race
By Reid Wilson
Ex-Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R) is seriously exploring a bid against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), according to sources with knowledge of his plans.
Hayworth has been in touch with consultants to gauge their interest in working for his potential candidacy, and he has made several high-profile appearances of late. That indicates the buzz about a bid is more than just a ploy to pay off old legal debts, as many AZ politicos had suspected.
"Hayworth's biggest obstacle is his personal finances, but being in the U.S. Senate is a lifelong pursuit for him," said one GOPer familiar with AZ politics. "I'd be surprised if he didn't run."
Hayworth lost his seat to Rep. Harry Mitchell (D) in the '06 Dem wave. But in recent months, he's made several indications he may challenge McCain. Hayworth uses his daily radio show to lambast McCain regularly, and one public poll, from Rasmussen, indicated he could have a chance if he ran.
McCain aides are planning as if Hayworth will run. As an indication they are aware of the threat, McCain's campaign has just purchased advertising time on the radio station where Hayworth hosts his show, KFYI, and they plan a major ad buy while Hayworth is on air, said a source with knowledge of the plans.
McCain has 2 radio ads running on stations around the state, according to a top aide.
Hayworth visited DC in Dec. to meet with supporters, and he has already contracted a polling firm, sources familiar with his thinking say. He was the headliner at a holiday fundraiser held by popular Maricopa Co. Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Money from that event went to help pay down Hayworht's legal debt.
Meanwhile, the only live-call poll of the potential matchup so far shows McCain in a commanding position. The Tarrance Group (R) survey, conducted Dec. 8-10 for the Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America, showed McCain leading by a 57%-36% margin.
The foundation is a 501(c)(4) organization set up in '08 with the express purpose of aiding McCain's pres. bid. Longtime McCain advisor Rick Reed established the group. Nonetheless, the poll showed 60% of AZ GOPers had a favorable impression of Hayworth, and just 15% saw him unfavorably.
If Hayworth runs, he will be an underdog at the start. But AZ conservatives who see immigration as a top issue are largely skeptical of McCain's support for a comprehensive approach to reform, and Hayworth's more conservative approach may give those voters an outlet for their unhappiness. Even former McCain advisors privately admit to Hotline OnCall that McCain may have more of a race on his hands than anticipated.
Hayworth didn't respond to an email message seeking comment. Meanwhile, Dems say they will become more serious about AZ if Hayworth's challenge looks like a serious threat to McCain, who otherwise would likely get a pass from the national party.





we need an all new congress!!!
two terms first one in office the second one in jail.when they screw the people.
Thank you Lord. And if it's not too much to ask, can you convince John to retire to Mexico when it's over?
We thank thee for thy generosity, amen.
As the attorney who did the legal work to set up the Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America, I can assure you there was no express purpose of helping Sen. McCain's political campaigns. The persons involved simply wanted to create a vehicle to inform citizens about issues and policies related to keeping America secure and financially sound. Several steps were taken to insulate the group's activities from electoral politics and the attached regulatory regime.
A poll showing McCain leading, conducted by a group of liberal McCain supporters? McCain is a sleaze. Get rid of the alien "s" kisser who destroyed the GOP in 2008. (Along with George Bush, the non-conservative.)
Conservative news radio host J.D. Hayworth gets plenty of practice debating the issues perfect for his engagements as a motivational speaker. Speaking of his approach as business management consultant, J.D. says, “In management, confrontation means honest debate not withering criticism.invigorating discussion that helps define decision making.”
Run JD RUN!!!
Hopefully more people can learn from this post what I have. A great contribution to the world at large.
Vote out all Republicans who voted for the bailout! McCain is one of them! And this guy is such an establishment lacky...he doesn't care about the people.
McCains not a real republican because he would have been almost as bad as Obama...he's for the bankers...
You can credit McCain for all the corruption in DC. Only senators can run for president. Thus our choices. McCain Feingold allowed for the sorry representation we have today. The consolidation of fundraising on "K street" or corporate members of the council of foreign relation. What you think John McCain wrote that bill?! Please, he is sell out. Remember Keating 5. With the limits on individuals to contribute only fancy loop holes/whores used by big corporations allow one to raise the increasing amounts need to run for congress.
Hello excellent content there. keep it going.I frankly like to browse your post.Last of all have great night
Hi nice web there. keep it going.I frankly love to browse your blog.Last of all have nice night
Could not be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
McCain needs to retire to RINO LAND!
I am a Conservative and I support John McCain!
I completely agree with everything in this post. If only all forex traders thought this way!
John McCain is a fine representative for AZ. Haywort is an egomaniac that is just in this for publicity; A bloviator and liar.
Haywort will be a distraction in a year that we conservatives don't need any.
MCain has always stood for lower taxes, smaller government and is a stong anti-abortion leader. His job is to represent ALL of AZ...not just the far..far..right wing of the party.
Those that scream "RINO"...brought us Obama.
They need to sit down and keep their sputtering nonsense to themselevs.
I have to agree with the other comments here. Senator McCain has been in Washington much too long, and he does not appear to have any bedrock conservative principles. That may have been fine with the American voters when we were living on easy street, but it's useless when our form of free market, representative government is under attack from without and within. We are attacked externally by terrorist attacks and unchecked illegal immigration. We are attacked internally by profligate, unsustainable spending, by the confiscation and redistribution of private property, and liberal/socialist/progressive communist-sympathizers in the halls of government who are systematically undermining the greatest ideas of enlightened self-government ever conceived, enshrined in our Constitution.
Sadly, since Senator McCain’s positions on important issues have often been determined by avoiding conflict and criticism with the side that would yell the loudest, he hasn't developed the principled, moral strength that will be necessary to stem the tide of disaster that is coming upon our country.
I hope Mr. Hayworth will have the moral fortitude to protect our children's greatest inheritance: the freedom, security, and prosperity uniquely found in the self-government of the United States and its Constitution.
Go for it JD! No Amnest'a you win!
It is time for John McCain to retire. He was a great war hero, but his "reaching across the isle" is hurting the country. Does anyone recall the McCain Feingold Legislation? How about the McCain Kennedy AMNESTY Legislation? J.D. is a solid Conservative, and I would be proud if he were my Senator.
I looked online for distance mba university and did not find a place that lists all best programs for India. Any suggestions?
I just couldnt leave your website before saying that I really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors... Will be back often to check up on new stuff you post!
A thoughtful insight and ideas I will use on my blog. You've obviously spent some time on this. Well done!
Hi there, my son told me about your website a few days ago, and I really love it. I'll be back! Right on!
I see a bunch of people here talking about John McCain and amnesty and I ask you where you are getting your information. McCain has never supported amnesty and says he never will. Yes he supported the guest worker program, but that is certainly not amnesty. Look it up.
Don't know about McCain and amnesty but anti abortionist I don't think so. He said the same as most people do only in the case of the mothers health,rape or incest and palin his VP choice went along with that.,since she choose to run with him.I think we need term limits and we wouldn't have these oldsters like McCain and others.McCain seems to have lost his way he keeps forgetting what he is told like where the underwear bomber bought his ticket and that it was round trip not one way and was paid with cash. Forgetful old man or just not facing reality
You made some interesting points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with this concept.
I think a lot of problems on representation would be solved by term limits in the house and senate. D.C. has a corrupting effect on even the most ethical people and they should not stay there so long. Thanks for being able to comment. Mary Jane
What JD Hayworth and Jim Deakins should do is to both run their campaigns without going after eachother anymore so much!
Both of them should go after the incumbent on his past and current policy platform on illegal alien/immigration/immigrant issues, and all of the other major issues.
Don't over do it on a personal level, but go after his policy platform on all of the major issues that he has not addressed properly, or has actively undermined against the Conservative type position!
After the middle of the campaigns start coordinating the two Conservative Campaigns to be working together behind the scenes,
to be ready to have one of the 2 candidates to drop out of the race, and to then to put their full support behind the other remaining Conservative Republican candidate that stays in the race!
This the only way to be able to handily beat John McCAain and the Democrats in the Arizona US Senate Race Republican Primary!
Because McCain has way more $$$ to spend on all kinds of promotons such as casmpaign events, tv and radio ads.
He has also recieved the highly influential endorsement of Conservative leader Sarah Palin, because she owes him alot for helping her get out and onto the countrywide US political map!
By gaining alot of Independent, Conservative, and Republican supporters and their votes, JD Hayworth and Jim Deakin can then at the right time call for the full support of the remaining Conservative candidate,
after one of the two Conservative candidates drops out of the race at the right time, based on the polls and/or other means of determining who has more support from the AZ Independents, Conservatives, and Republicans of the race,
and tells their supporters to put their full support and votes en masse for the other Conservative Republican Senatorial candidate,
who was getting the higher amount of overall support and/ or is determined to be the best candidate to beat McCain in the primary vote, and to be able to beat any Democratic opponent in thr senate race in November 2010 !
Talk to JD and Jim and tell them that winning this primary means much more then either of their personal political ambitions.
And that if there is more than a 2 or 3 way race in the primary race, McCain could probably not be beaten, that's why the combining of the 2 Conservative candidates supporters and votes,
towards the end of the primaries without it being obvious that it was all pre-planned to work out that way, is a recipe for success against very high odds!
So they should work together behind the scenes, because beating McCain in this primary, who is an entrenched politician with alot of strong political and corporate alliances, and unlimited amounts of his families $$$ to spend on his campaign besides the 5-10 million $$$ he's already raised!
So then they would have the kind and amount of of overall support, needed to be able to beat a 5 term AZ US Senator, who also has alot of personal history, that also manages to get him alot of loyal support and votes.
Even though he's very unreliable as a Conservative on the issues candidate. And that's why he needs to be replaced in his Senate seat!
Maybe then he'll learn the lesson what happens when you mess with the peoples seat!
He is also a way too loyal supportee-supporter and strong agreeable ally of liberal/moderate RINO-CINO Republican South Carolina US Senator Lindsey Graham, and that's not a good sign to say the least!
Talk over this plan, implement it and maybe we'll be on our way to another Conservative Republican victory in Arizona, like the recent one in Massachusetts!
No matter what the end results are it will all be well worth it. Because giving John McCain an unexpected very strong political fight based, on his unappreciated liberal/moderate RINO-CINO type Republican mismanagement and mishandling of the unsecure-borders-illegal-alien-immigrant-immigration-issues/problems and all of the other major issues too.
Will have a major impact on him, because he'll realize that he came close to losing his seat because of those unappreciated policies, and hopefuilly he'll have more reconsideration at the times when he's about to sell out the UUS-America down the drain as he has done so often, time and time again in his past 5 AZ US Senator terms!
Also the political climate in the US House and Senate and the country as a whole, will be alot more hostile to him and US Senator Lindsay Graham from this day going forwrd if they continue,
their unappreciated liberal/moderate RINO-CINO type Republican mismanagement and mishandling of the unsecure-borders-illegal-alien-immigrant-immigration-issues/problems, and all of the other major issues too.
And having had to fight against candidates that are right on the issues they'll posibly be thankful for winning and trying to keep their seat for the next election or just not completely ruin their legacy, in their last term in office!
Also the exposing of the incumbent for all of their misdeeds and all of the above in the primary, also puts more pressure on them to make promises to start to have a more consistently Conservative policy/platform that has a much more US-American people driven agenda,
from now on, that we can try to hold them to while they're in office, and debating and voting on all of the major issues, while we are watching closely to what they're doing and are up to at all times, because of their past political record!
Also this kind of race will have a good effect on all of the other Senate and House races in 2010.
Because it will expose and bring out into the open the whole scandalous issue of how these liberal/moderate RINO-CINO elitist type Republican politicians, which John McCain and Lindsey Grahasm are the 2 most notable for this,
who for some hidden reason just have this crazy way of debating and voting, in a way that sounds like, and after they vote is in effect,
as if they were an advocate for foreign nations and their citizens in and at the most innaproriate way and/or time, be they our enemy, neutral, or freind,
and not at all for the benefit of or for, the US-American people as a whole, and almost always to the major detriment and loss, to the USA and the American people, in one way or another, or in a multitude of ways!
This will cause other states to have election races and results similar to the recent one in Massachusetts!
We must get a new US ID required at all US polling places and voting booths in order to vote in the US -- rule/law -- in place asap for the 2010 elections!
We must get the illegal aliens parents/child born in the USA/automatic citizenship rule/law reversed, asap!
And expose the neglgent and reckless politicians who have let the number 1 most destructive, completely traitorous, and treasonous rule/law, that is the basis of the whole;
unsecure border/foreign national illegal/alien/immigrant/immigration/hordes/invaders issues; stay in place all of these years, when they could have at least tried to get it reversed!
Not in your state, but will support getting rid of McCain. He does not represent conservative values, immigtation, drilling in Alaska,ect.Voted for bail out money, and his working across the isle to appease the lib's are not what we need at this point in history, we have momentum on our side, lets not screw it up with moderates. bc
In the Prescott area, we're getting hammered by various McCain radio ads, one of which goes after JD.
If JD is serious, he should consider getting in sooner rather than later. I just received an email from the Mc camp crowing that a new head-to-head poll shows Mc up 22 pts.
Mc needs to go or better, John Kyl needs a strong, reliable partner
working for a better Arizona.
JD, if it looks doable, now's the time.
I live in Southern California, and when it comes to illegals, CA has you guys far outnumbered. Believe me, we not only feel your pain, we experience it on a daily basis.
I have admired JD for years, and would gladly trade Ah-nuld for JD or Sheriff Joe any day. Heck, I wish we could just ship our governor straight over to you to get him off our hands, but you've got enough RINO politicians as it is.
Speaking of McCain, if you re-elect him or Kyl, you deserve it. Don't forget that they both had their names as main sponsors of Amnesty bills. Kyl-Cornyn sucked. McCain-Kennedy sucked out loud. But they were both amnesty, plain and simple.
If a real conservative runs against either of these clowns in the Republican primary, don't just vote for the one who you think "has a chance". Vote for your principles.
Neither the Dems nor the Repubs decide things anymore. They're yesterday's news. It's the Independents like me that are running the show now. No longer a slave to a "D" or an "R", I'll vote 'em in according to their values (not their letter), and I'll vote 'em out if they betray me.
It's about time our elected officials fear us.
Bring on JD! Toss out McAmnesty on his wrinkled behind.
I just caught the JD goodbye on KFYI radio....what the heck blew up.....got the impression that ASSHAT McCain is behind it....anyone
www.jimdeakin.com, www.deakinvsmccain.com. America is ready for real Americans to make a real difference. Make sure the polsters include Jim Deakin in all polls.
Senator McCain is a hero,but its time for him to go home and rest.He has like most of the congress thats been ther a long time lost touch and i wish him the very best.
Since his wife and daughter came out in favor of men marrying men and women marrying women i suspect that we now know McCains true feelings on the matter.Like on Abortion and immigration i dont trust McCain to vote the will of the people.
My husband and I intend to do everything we can to support Hayworth in the coming election. McCain sickens me with his duplicity. He has recently tried to grab publicity by attempting to tie himself to Scott Brown's recent win as though he was somehow responsible for that victory! Now, you have his wife and daughter coming out in support of gay marriage while he demurely steps back and says he only supports marriage between a man and a woman. Is this supposed to win the vote of people on both sides of THAT argument? What a mistep for Sarah Palin to endorse him as a candidate. NO MORE POLITICS AS USUAL! That is all you will ever get from this A-typical politician. Arizona needs answers for our illigal immigration problems and McCain has done nothing to stop the financial bleeding so lets get someone in the Senate who will!!!
We need him to run his campaign the way Brown did. Brown got a lot of his money from all of us sending donations. I am willing to donate. We must beat Juan McCain the RINO
I feel John McCain does not work for the people of Arizona. The aide running his office are Washington stooges that do only what governmental agencies want them to do. I know this from a friend of mine who experienced hell when he tried to move his brother who was a disabled veteran from a Colorado nursing home to an Arizona facility. He requested that so his brother could be close so family could visit him.
He died in Colorado without the family being able to be there to support him. This was a terrible thing to happen to a veteran who received a service related injury.
The people of Arizona need someone better and hopefully it will be a conservative Republican. I don't know if Hayworth is the answer because during his last election he went after Mitchell rather than expressing to the people of Arizona what he wanted to do in congress. I like his national sales tax ideas and hope that he will talk about that rather than the record of his when he campaigns.
It he has not learned this lesson then I hope John McCain wins because he is the lesser of two evils.
J.D. Hayworth,
Please run against McCain. There is no doubt in my mind that you will win. All you have got to do is replay the R President candidate's Miami illegal alien foram from CNN's Sanchez show, which showed McCain saying to a crowed of illegal alien lovers that " this country is what it is because of you fine people, and I will be honored when the day comes when I will be a minority in my own country and you good people will be the majority". I thought I was going to through up. I have a national
sticker and T-shirt web site 'deportunlawfulalien's.com' and I will put a place on there for people to contribute to you.

Great site, exactly what I was looking for, I can't get your RSS feed to work right in google chrome though, is it on my end?
Hi, excellent blog, I thouroughly enjoyed reading this. the article gave me the kick to attempt my own blog, please check out my blog by clicking my name at the top of this article, thank you
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
Enough is enough! It's time for McCain to GO, as well as all current incumbants. We need term limits and if the members of Congress don't pursue this, then replace them. That's the power we, as a people, still retain.
McCain, because of his liberal politics has helped bring us to this point, a president that hates America. He has used up all of his credibility. He is now acting the Conservative, that is BS if he gets reelected he will revert back to his liberal ways.
J.D. Hayward for SENATE.

How complete are public records that you get on the Internet? How do you really know if you are getting what you need.
Good info. I'm glad I came across your website.
