John
McCain's unapologetic rightward tack, and his all-out assault on J.D.
Hayworth -- a case study in how to handle a primary in an
anti-incumbent year -- seem to be paying off on the right.
Four big Arizona Tea Party groups just put out a release
saying they wouldn't endorse in the race, despite McCain's longtime
status -- made worse, if anything, by the presidential campaign -- as
object of conservative suspicion. The basic explanation: McCain's
success in denying Hayworth the chance to (re)define himself.
