Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) has a new radio ad for the home stretch of his primary challenge against Sen. John McCain. With the election coming this Tuesday, Hayworth plays the underdog card by pointing out just how much money McCain’s campaign has spent on the race.
“20 million dollars — almost half of it from funds raised for the last presidential campaign. 20 million bucks. That’s what John McCain is spending in false attacks against me. That Mr. Campaign Finance Reform would now break all spending records shouldn’t surprise us. He’s so desperate to cling to power, that he’s adopted the lie-and-buy strategy — lie about me, and try to buy this election. Well on Tuesday, he’ll find out that you cannot be bought.”
We’ll see about that prediction from Hayworth. The TPM Poll Average has McCain leading by 53.6%-32.1%.
