The all important Senate race is on everyone’s minds here in Arizona I’m sure. John McCain faced the stiffest competition for a US Senate primary election in his career, some say. Having said this, McCain who fought a hard battle and contributed over $20 million in campaign funding, took the republican nomination. He beat out the former radio talk show host and Representative, J.D. Hayworth, who certainly did not run a smooth flawless campaign.

McCain is well on his way to his 5th term in the US Senate. The re-election rate for US senators has been 91% historically. McCain who is 73 now, and who fought a hard battle for President in 2008, will embark now on what could be his final campaign for Senator. In McCain’s victory speech, he said, “This was a tough, hard-fought primary. I promise you, I take nothing for granted and will fight with every ounce of strength and conviction I possess to make the case for my continued service in the Senate.” He also mentioned that he will take on Obamacare once re-elected to the Senate seat.
