Chris Simcox of the anti-illegal-immigration Minutemen Civilian Defense Corps has announced he will challenge John McCain in Arizona's Republican primary in 2010. Both Jim Kolbe and Jeff Flake have beaten back serious primary challenges from restrictionist Republicans in recent election cycles, and Simcox comes with his own controversies. But the Minuteman also has a national fundraising base and a hot-button issue on which McCain is very vulnerable with the Republican base.

The sentator's best days are behind him: he can never match the heroisn he showed in Hanoi. I can't say much about his political career impresses me but he has my admiration for what he did all those years ago in Vietnam.

Good! McCain needs a good challenge. I agree with Tim above that McCain's best days are passed. I think he can be beat in a primary, but I don't think a hard right candidate can win in Arizona. Looks like another Senate seat is going to go Dem.

I think that he can win in Arizona. People are starting to tire of the way we are moving so far and fast to the left.
