Hayworth says he raised more than $1 million in his primary challenge to Sen. McCain

[ccharles000]

Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth raised more than $1 million this quarter in his primary challenge to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), his campaign announced Thursday.

Earlier his website reported he'd fallen $60,000 short of his $1 million March fundraising goal. Hayworth officially launched his primary challenge to McCain on Feb. 15, which was halfway through the first-quarter fundraising period.

The McCain campaign questioned if Hayworth was counting pledges in addition to donations. But Hayworth's camp said it "raised over $23,500 per day in cash, checks, and credit cards, no pledges included."

On Wednesday, McCain announced he'd raised $2.2 million and had $4.5 million cash on hand.

1. Hayworth has problems counting past 4...

the man is a complete idiot.

If he winds up on the ballot, there's a good chance a Dcan win in AZ. When I lived there about 10 years ago, it was turning purple.

2. If I know Hayworth,

his campaign will be so negative that it will backfire. All that money will be wasted.
