Arizona Primary Election Jhon McCain Win

Arizona Sen. John McCain struggled with a challenge in the Republican primary in his bid for a fifth term after spending about $ 20 million and take a hard line in his signature issue of immigration.
McCain, who was his party's 2008 presidential candidate, defeated former Congressman JD Hayworth, resistant to anti-historical trend that threatened his candidacy earlier this year and put in a strong position to win reelection in November. Received 57 percent of the primary vote to 31 percent of Hayworth with 53 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press.
Jim Deakin, a contractor with no experience in electoral politics who competed with Hayworth to support activists Tea Party, had 11.5 percent, the AP reported.
"We won an important victory, for which I am very grateful," after a hard-fought primary, "McCain told supporters. "This is a consequential choice" because of "staggering unemployment in the nation, a shattered housing market" and "a river of red ink that threatens its prosperity."
To shore up his political base, McCain, 73, changed his position on immigration to repair his position with conservatives and tried to tarnish the reputation of Hayworth said Margaret Kenski, a Republican pollster in Tucson. It flooded the airwaves with "devastating" ads, painting Hayworth as a "false conservative" who once sold ways to earn free money from the government in late night infomercials, he said.
