AZ-Senate: Could this be the Sleeper Race of 2010?

[WI_DEM]

AZ-Sen: Could This Be The Sleeper Race of 2010? It would be sweet to see McCain go down.
A new poll out today from PPP puts Arizona front-and-center as a potentially intriguing race in 2010. The pollsters, which also polled the primary (and will release those results tomorrow), have little-known Democrat Rodney Glassman leading GOP insurgent candidate J.D. Hayworth by a three-point margin (42-39), despite Hayworth having a towering name recognition edge over Glassman. Glassman also, quite surprisingly, holds John McCain under 50% of the vote, as well (49-33). McCain's numbers have plummeted in the state, according to PPP. They have his approval down to just 34%, with a majority of Arizona voters (55%) disapproving of the 2008 GOP presidential nominee.

1. McCain is finally being seen as old and tired

and has also been tainted by losing a presidential bid and conservatives don't forgive losers easily. Hayworth is viewed with skepticism by a lot of people who vaguely remember he was dumped out of the House because he was on Abramoff's bribery list.

I don't know much about Glassman, either, but Hayworth in the Senate is just too appalling a prospect to consider. He's nuttier than McCain ever was, and McCain is one of the nuttiest ones out there.

2. A democrat pick-up in AZ on the heels of the racial-profiling law

...would do more to discredit RW ideology than any court striking down the law.

THE PEOPLE need to be the ones to defeat the RW otherwise the RW will just cry that the courts are rigged against them.

Go team!

3. I agree completely....

I am tired of the constant whining and negative hate that is spit out of their mouths. The voters have to respond by voting them out. Plain and simple.
