JD Hayworth Rethug Congressman in Arizona #5 was once voted in the Washingtonian survey of 1200 congressional staffers (from both parties) as the biggest blowhard in congress. In this years poll he has slipped to 2nd place. He actually brags that he is disapointed in this! See the Wiklpedia reference below the fold.
The great news is that Hayworth is in real danger of being booted out of congress by a great Democratic candidate Harry Mitchell. Check out the latest poll results below the fold.
There is indeed a wave forming for Dems all over the country. But that can cause a problem. It makes it hard for us to identify the races that just require a little nudge to tip them into the win column for us. A good example is in Arizona Congressional District # 5 where ex lame sportscaster, blowhard, US Senate wannabe, and Abramoff buddy, JD Hayworth is sinking daily and is in real danger of losing his seat to Harry Mitchell. I have included a recent poll by SurveyUSA (10/16/06) that shows encouraging momement by Harry Mitchell and a reference to some info on Hayworth from Wikipedia below.
Harry is an Arizona State Senator, former Chair of the State Democratic Party, former Mayor and Councilman for Tempe Arizona, and a retired educator. Read about his campaign at :

Lets get behind Harry with our dollars, our letters to the editors, some door knocking, and any other GOTV efforts by our good Arizona Kossacks
What's my stake in this other than trying to help another good Democrat get elected?
I live in Greenville South Carolina where I had to suffer with this ass hole nightly on my television set. Believe me he is a real caveman! A horrible sports reporter! How he ever got elected to congress I can not imagine. If nothing else he is a great example of Rethug insider, Abramoff hack! He's got to go! See below the Wikipedia reference to Hayworth. What a dud. I guess his TV backgound and his caveman politics have served him well as a regular fill in on the Laura Ingraham show.
Lets go Kossacks! Let's push Harry into the Win Column!
