In his bid to be re-elected to the Senate, John McCain is being challenged by the right-wing former Congressman J.D. Hayworth, a local talk radio big mouth in the city-state of Arizona (Phoenix dominates the state as the population is concentrated there in its metro area, Tuscon forgotten under its wing, and Yuma, the Las Vegas suburbs, and Navaho/Hopi areas an insignificant afterthought...)...and now Minuteman Leader Chris Simcox has dropped out of the race and endorsed Hayworth. In short, though he's ahead in the polls now, McCain's status is quite similar to that of Martha Coakesley at a similar point (anyone remember that idiot who thought she could win by pretending there wasn't an election?).

So, basically, what the Republicans reaped they sowed. The monster they cultivated - the teabaggers, birthers, deathers, anti-vaccinists, xenophobes, crazies, etc. - has returned to bite them in the ass. McCain may be the first casualty of this monster but if so he won't be the last. Mark it.
