Primary has Tea Party losing to John McCain

There is a secret. Learn new tricks as an old dog. John McCain’s main goal recently was to beat J.D. Hayworth, from the Tea Party, in the Arizona Republican Primary elections. McCain sure knows how to campaign, although he is not the only one with a comparable candidate. Hayworth can have to wait six years to run again after losing the primary. The Tea Party stuff is what everybody wants to learn about. That is why the Alaska Senate race and Florida Senate race are so closely viewed.

Tea Party not as strong as McCain

A fight was being brought by the defeated Republican candidate from the last presidential election, Senator John McCain. J.D. Hayworth is a previous congressman at the moment running under Tea Party as a republican. He hoped to get, along with other candidates that are anti-incumbent, the Senate seat this year. Hayworth ended up showing his hostility toward the Washington establishment. This didn’t help him at all. 60 percent of the vote went to McCain. That means Hayworth only received 30 percent of the vote. Of course, John McCain did spend about $20 million on campaigning, and he changed his prior tune on immigration, as outlined by CNN. Democrats do not stand a chance this year.

Three options for Sunshine State Senate

Florida might be interesting this year. The election results for 2010 might be different. Governor Charlie Crist is running as an independent. The Republican candidate, and also a Tea Party heavy, is Marco Rubio, a member of the Florida legislature. Kendrick Meek upset Jeff Greene following the Democratic primary ended. Greene self-financed his campaign but failed to capture the primary.

Then there’s Alaska

The home state of Sarah Palin also has a closely viewed election for the U.S. Senate. Longtime incumbent Lisa Murkowski faces a challenge within the Republican primary from Jeff Miller, a Tea Party affiliated candidate who also has an endorsement from Sarah Palin. Miller leads by just a very miniscule amount. Tea Party candidates are thus far somewhat successful in primaries, but the true success can be determined in November.
