Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) will officially launch his Senate campaign, in which he is challenging 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain in the GOP primary, on February 15.

Hayworth was first elected to Congress in the big Republican year of 1994, and was ultimately defeated in the big Democratic year of 2006. Since then, he’s spent time as a right-wing talk radio host in Arizona, and is ready to challenge McCain from the right.

“2010 is the Second Great American Revolution – or if you prefer – the Second American Restoration,” Hayworth says on his Web site. “It’s people like you who will make it actually happen!”
