2010 is not going to be a good year to be a RINO in any way, shape or form:
Senator John McCain’s future in the U.S. Senate may be a little less assured than previously thought.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely 2010 Republican Primary voters in Arizona finds the longtime incumbent in a virtual tie with potential challenger J.D. Hayworth. McCain earns 45% of the vote, while Hayworth picks up 43%.
J. D. Hayworth is a former House member, defeated in the 2006 GOP route. In other words, he might have many fine qualities, but he’s not the sort of man one would think a strong challenger to a war hero, known-by-everyone, easily-reelected-for-ages Senator. But, he is. Why? Because McCain has flirted many times with RINOism, and the people are tired of that.
In the end, I expect McCain to tack far enough right to secure the GOP nomination and he’ll probably then cruise to re-election – but the warning is out there: RINOs are an endangered species.
