Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has a new Web video attacking his right-wing primary challenger, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, blasting Hayworth for being “consumed by conspiracies” about President Obama’s birth certificate.
The video compares Hayworth’s pro-Birther comments on both TV and radio to the infamous rantings of such leading Birthers as Orly Taitz and Philip Berg. “The only difference between these people” the narrator says. “Only one is running for the U.S. Senate.”
So here’s a good question for John McCain’s campaign: Does running on an anti-Birther platform help in a Republican primary? Keep in mind that the Arizona state House is advancing a bill supported by Republican legislators, to require presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates.
