Poll: McCain In Dead Heat In Potential 2010 GOP Primary For Re-Election Eric Kleefeld \| November 20, 2009, 9:07AM A new Rasmussen poll finds that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) could potentially be in trouble with Republican voters back home in Arizona, where he's often faced criticism from the right for his views on immigration. In a potential Republican primary for his 2010 re-election, the 2008 GOP nominee for President is in a dead heat with former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a hard-line conservative who lost his seat in the 2006 Democratic wave. The numbers: McCain 45%, Hayworth 43%, with a ±4% margin of error. A third candidate who is already in the race, former Minuteman leader Chris Simcox, gets 4%. From the pollster's analysis: "For McCain, the GOP Primary appears to be his biggest challenge since no major Democrats in the state have stepped forward yet to run against him."

If the saviour himself did not bring about this improvement, the country was bound to lose all the jobs, as the country would have lost 750k jobs per month until there was no one working. For all you and I know it could have been even worse. I mean, who do you think you are? Some crystal ball economic tea leaf dreamer? Give us a break. How long are you guys going to be wimps, giving these excuses? Until it's fixed. Until then you could try eating some humble pie. I see, closing our eyes to it is the solution. Trying to take cost out of it is indeed part of the solution...but the GOP uses that as a political tool to fear monger seniors and score cheap political points. Where were you by the way when bush actually increased that entitlement with a Part D drug extension that made absolutely no consideration with how to pay for it? Obama has taken this broken system as a model and is about to extended to the entire population. If you think we have problems now (and you don't because you are obviously oblivious to it), when the current problem is multiplied by factor of 5 or more, what do you think will happen? I suggest you take the time to understand what "zero sum game" means. You and I are paying for the uninsured today...just as we would be for seniors if Medicare were not there. That's what I mean about the GOP or people like you who follow it. Non stop bitching, but talk about a solution and they come back with a cure all tax cut...it's a joke masquerading as a political party. Al
