PHOENIX - The battle between John McCain and JD Hayworth is just getting started. Both sides are picking up endorsements and trading harsh words -- and the Republican primary is still six months away.
The rhetoric is getting heated between McCain and Hayworth, and the primary is not until August. Meanwhile, a possible Democratic challenger waits patiently in the wings.
Monday, Republican challenger JD Hayworth accepted an endorsement and a $5,000 check from the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association (PLEA), representing 2,500 Phoenix Police officers
Mark Spencer says PLEA is endorsing Hayworth because they need to "get back to basics."
That comes on the heels of an endorsement of McCain by the 6,500 member Arizona Fraternal Order of Police over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Tucson Vice-Mayor, Democrat Rodney Glassman, prepares to get in on the race. He sees an opportunity as the Hayworth-McCain cage match heats up. |
