    She may be better than McCain, but she is a politician's politician.... If I have to listen to her "BFF" Speech one more time, I'm going to suck-start my pistol. She has many unknowns but listening to her speak, she seems like a snake and just another greasy deal-making politician. She REALLY rubs me the wrong way when she speaks.

    I agree she would be better than McCain and Kirkpatrick... but a small-government freedom-fighter she is NOT.

    "Kelli with an "I", because "I" care about the people!" I just threw up a little in my mouth.

    Props for her to go on AJ Show, though.

    "As a physician, you have seen first*hand how ObamaCare has reduced our liberties in just a few short years. During your time as state senator, you have fought to reduce the size of government and restore the liberties of Arizonans. We need to elect more people into the U.S. Senate to stand alongside my son, Rand Paul. Because of your dedication to smaller government and restoring more of our personal liberties, I am proud to endorse your campaign for the U.S. Senate."

    Good video. Who knew that she was at LPAC and Ron had mentioned her back then?

    Dr. Ward: "McCain is directly responsible for ISIS"

    Dr. Kelli Ward, "John McCain is directly responsible for the rise of ISIS."

    "John McCain is “directly responsible” for the rise of ISIS. Without his dangerously distracted foreign policy, we would not have this ruthless Islamic extremist organization that crucifies children, systematically rapes women, oppresses Christians, and throws homosexuals off rooftops.

    Libya and Iraq would not be the “Harvard of terrorism” they are now if it were not for his knee-jerk, trigger-happy foreign policy of promiscuously arming the supposedly moderate militants he says he is “intimate with” and overthrowing stable, albeit unsavory regimes. He even wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years and joked about risking military lives to “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.” Even George W. Bush and Tony Blair have admitted that the 2003 invasion of Iraq created a vacuum which allowed jihadist ideologies to flourish. Our open border has given those emboldened elements access to our country and our citizens. McCain has been complicit in all of it."

    Melusky Suspends Campaign providing opening for defeat of McCain

    McCain's greatest hope has been that the anti-McCain vote is divided.

    Alex Melusky, however, has now stepped aside suspending his campaign to enable Dr. Ward to defeat McCain.

    Meluskey:
    “I made it very clear from the outset that if I was not in a position to win this race, I would do what is best for our state, and for our country, and step aside before voting began”, he stated. “That is why effective today, I am suspending my campaign and therefore I am not presently a candidate for the U.S. Senate. I am keeping my promise to the people of Arizona in order to clear the way for the defeat of John McCain”.

    Many political observers expect McCain to easily advance to the November election. Legitimate polling in the state is lacking, and the only head-to-head poll measuring McCain versus Ward, in late January, showed McCain so far ahead that another poll hasn't been done.
    I'd like to see a newer poll. SHe is lightyears better than Songbird McCain. But McCain has millions more than her in funds.

    McCain has a history of fighting off primary challenges from the right. In 2010, he trounced conservative stalwart Rep. J.D. Hayworth by 24 percentage points.

    McCain has been spending his vast war chest on the Democrat in line to challenge him if he knocks off Ward and Van Steenwyk in the primary. He had $5.8 million in the bank June 30, compared with just $240,000 for Ward.
