Former Rep. Hayworth inches toward McCain challenge in 2010
2010-01-02
We've been skeptical that he would take the plunge, but it sounds like former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) may run for Senate after all.

The Arizona Republic reports:
J.D. Hayworth continues to tease about his possible 2010 political ambitions.

Hayworth, who became a radio talk show host after losing his 2006 House re-election bid, has been talking about possibly challenging Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in next year's GOP Senate primary.

On his KFYI radio show Monday, Hayworth told his listeners that he went to Washington, D.C., this month and "we may have moved past due diligence into something that is more than a legal term of art ... something called 'testing the waters.' So stay tuned on that."

#3  There are many good reasons for McCain to retire, not the least of which that he will never, ever voluntarily do so. Nuke the bastard.

#2  I like and respect McCain. I also think he's been in the Senate long enough. He should retire in plenty of time to help the next Pub hold the seat.

#1  I hope J.D. does run. McCain needs to retire, or be retired.
