Poor John McCain. He's barely picked himself up off the mat before another haymaker comes flying at his bejowled head. National Review's Byron York takes a look at the possibility McCain will lose his Senate seat in 2010.
I agree with York that the biggest threat to McCain will come from his right. Conservatives spent most of 2008 bellyaching about how McCain wasn't a "true conservative." Well, here's their chance to prove it. Can they convince the Republican voters of Arizona that McCain is just a "squish," to use one of their favorite terms?
McCain will probably survive. He's no dummy; he knows the danger. And an alert politician is usually a safe one. Still, though, it'll be interesting to see if former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, one of the most pompastic (a mixing of pomp and bombastic) members of the House, will choose to run against Mr. Maverick.
