The primary is August 24. McCain is up against JD Hayworth, a former House member who is a neanderthal (he makes Palin look like Mensa). But that's what, unfortunately, works best with far too many Republican voters: stupid.
Among Hayworth supporters, there's a feeling that McCain hasn't been a loyal Republican, he's ignored Arizona and his time has passed. Many have voted for him for years — because, they say, there wasn't another option. With the 51-year-old Hayworth, people fed up with the status quo — and unwilling to automatically give McCain a new six-year term — have somewhere to turn.
