Kyl says Hayworth unlikely to run against McCain, let alone win

[ccharles000]

Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) is unlikely to run in a GOP primary against Sen. John McCain, let alone win, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said Monday.

Kyl, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, said he expects the former congressman, who's been mulling a primary challenge to McCain's right next year, to carry on his activities as host of a radio show, and not as a candidate.

"No, I don't think that J.D. Hayworth will run," Kyl told reporters, according to AZCentral.com. "He's got a radio program that I understand is very popular. A lot of folks listen to it. My guess is he will carry on his political activity in that venue."

Hayworth made his name in Congress for being a staunch opponent of immigration reform, a cause McCain favors. The issue is especially salient in Arizona, a state that shares its southern border with Mexico.

A recent Rasmussen poll showed Hayworth within the margin of error of a potential matchup of the 2008 GOP
