J.D. Hayworth (slime-AZ) will challenge McCain in the repuke primary
Looking forward to an ugly primary battle in AZ

PHOENIX -- Former Arizona Congressman J.D. Hayworth says he's planning to run against John McCain for his U.S. Senate seat.

Hayworth told The Associated Press late Friday that he stepped down as host of his radio program on KFYI-AM, a conservative radio talk show in Phoenix. Legally, he wouldn't be able to host the program and be an active candidate.

Hayworth was ousted from his Congressional seat in 2007 after 12 years in office by Democrat Harry Mitchell, and has hosted the radio show for the past few years.

Hayworth says he's not formally announcing a run for the Senate seat, but that "we're moving forward to challenge John McCain."

He added that he's had a wonderful time at KFYI, but "it's time to enter public life again."

...the office of censorship to, "...decide what news is important." did not disagree completely. How fun.

10. Yeah, I know ...
It came awfully close on the heels of the supreme court ruling abolishing campaign contribution limits. Then out comes this sleaze and wants to run against McCain. I was probably projecting a wave of sleaze bombs. I hope the Democrat is well known and not a fully owned subsidiary himself.

9. They both practice very dirty politics so this should be fun to watch them eat each other.

If the Democrat that will be running against them is smart they will have a camcorder on each candidate during their primary. They both are bound to say some recordable things.

8. Good.
He would be easier for a Democrat to beat, provided we have a strong candidate.
