Scott Brown campaigns for McCain in Arizona

[bobbyw24]

PHOENIX (AP) — Facing the toughest re-election battle of his career, John McCain is bringing in the Republican Party’s newest rising star in a bid to shore up support among conservative primary voters.

Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is making his first campaign trip as senator. His visit to Arizona Friday will be a first test of his popularity among Republican activists after he broke with the GOP leadership to side with Democrats in supporting a jobs bill.

Brown won his seat in January with the help national Republicans, “tea party” groups and an array of conservative special interests. Some of those supporters turned against Brown after his Feb. 22 vote on the jobs bill, calling him “Benedict Brown” and lambasting him online.

As a nationally popular Republican representing a left-leaning state, Brown walks a fine line between pleasing his base and positioning himself for re-election.

It’s a challenge McCain knows well. Some Arizona conservatives have long been skeptical of the Arizona senator over his own work with Democrats in support of issues including campaign-finance and immigration reform.

Brown’s visit is supposed to help the Arizona senator galvanize support on the right. And even as some former supporters turn on him, Brown remains popular in the Republican party after his victory embarrassed Democrats.

Are voters going to get confused about Senator McCain again as they decide
if GOP Congressman Hayworth is the conservative that represents their interests in this border state ?

So the AZZ Senator say's he "tilts" right now, but wants more FDA regulation of supplements,
then reminds us of his history with stumping by the Massachusetts Senator replacement after Ted Kennedy's passing . . . ?

John "100 years of war in Iraq" McCain always has amnesia about what he really is . . .

It is on the issues that Hayworth believes he can take down McCain. It is not a secret that John McCain is no doctrinaire conservative. In contrast, Hayworth calls himself the “consistent conservative” and he points to issues like McCain’s votes against the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, his support for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, which Hayworth calls “amnesty,” and his vote for bank bailouts as out of touch with the conservative base in Arizona.

Hayworth also differentiates himself from McCain on war on terror policy. While McCain has voiced support for closing down the terrorist detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and stated his opposition to the enhanced interrogation methods, which he considers torture, Hayworth has staked out the opposite positions. In fact, Hayworth goes even further, claiming that McCain’s position on these important issues has enabled what he sees as Obama’s radical war on terror polices.


“It may not have been John’s intent,” Hayworth says, employing his passive-aggressive strategy toward McCain, “but the net result is — for lack of a better term — he has been an enabler of an Obama policy that I think is far more harmful and far more radical than something John intended.”

On the issues, the crowd at Daisy Café, and at the two other country club venues Hayworth spoke at in Sun City and Peoria during the day, largely like what they hear from Hayworth.

“He is the most intelligent man in Arizona,” Patsy Denne told me after the Daisy Café event concluded. “He knows the Constitution better than anybody in Arizona.”

Others said they liked Hayworth because of his tough immigration stance which can be summed up by his the title of his book on the subject, “Whatever it Takes.” This, of course, stands in contrast to McCain’s support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Some attendees at the Peoria town hall Hayworth attends later in the day tell me that McCain is just too liberal and has been in the Senate too long.
