AZ-Sen: Will There Be A New Maverick In Town?

Don't Arizonans know that he's a war hero?

Senator John McCain’s future in the U.S. Senate may be a little less assured than previously thought.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely 2010 Republican Primary voters in Arizona finds the longtime incumbent in a virtual tie with potential challenger J.D. Hayworth. McCain earns 45% of the vote, while Hayworth picks up 43%.

Former Minuteman leader Chris Simcox gets four percent (4%) support, while two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate and seven percent (7%) are undecided.

It should be fun to watch McCain embrace his inner-teabagger in the coming months. Of course the burning question is, will Palin come down and campaign for him?
