Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is not taking it easy going into his August 24 primary. In fact, has a new attack ad going after former Rep. J.D. Hayworth's links to the Jack Abramoff scandal.

"Congressman J.D. Hayworth did favors for the infamous Jack Abramoff and his friends," the announcer says. "He received $150,000 from Abramoff and his clients. John McCain exposed the Abramoff scandal. Jack went to prison, and most politicians gave back all the tainted money. But not J.D. He kept the money. John McCain -- character matters."

Hayworth to McCain: If you bring up Abramoff, I will talk about Keating 5
By Sean J. Miller - 02/14/10 08:32 PM ET

J.D. Hayworth has a warning for John McCain: Bring up Jack Abramoff and I'll rehash the Keating Five scandal.

The former six-term congressman isn’t yet officially in the race but already the Arizona GOP Senate primary shows signs of turning into a bare-knuckle brawl.

"If John McCain really wants to make this a campaign about ties to lobbyists we will very forcefully respond to his outrageous conduct and Bahamian vacations with convicted banker Charlie Keating,” said Jason Rose, a spokesman for Hayworth.

In the 1980s, federal auditors were investigating Keating's savings and loan bank when the Arizona developer asked McCain and a number of other senators to intervene. Keating and McCain were close and had taken several trips together. McCain, then in his first Senate term, attended two meetings with federal banking regulators to discuss the investigation. The Senate Ethics Committee later found him guilty of exercising "pour judgment," but nothing more.

1. This is getting good.

Notice how Sarah Palin is not a variable in Hayworth's arsenal.
