Bob McCarty Writes

Challenged by Chris Simcox, co-founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps in Arizona and a man with more statewide name recognition than most of the senator’s previous primary opponents, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) must be feeling quite a bit of re-election pressure this time around.  As a result, he’s advertising already.

Today, I happened to stumble across a sign that Senator McCain is feeling quite a bit of pressure as he seeks to hold on to his seat following an abysmal performance as the 2008 Republican presidential nominee.

As I arrived at the Alltop.com’s “military news” page, prepared to check out military-related blog listings, my train of thought was derailed at the site of the “Help Re-Elect JOHN McCAIN to the United States Senate” ad (right) that appeared on the web site.

Giving money to Senator McCain will do about as much for the conservative cause as giving it to Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).  In other words, nothing at all.
