Gonna be some fun soundbites out of this one. (Video above gets good at about 1 minute in) We're going to be hearing that "common sense conservatism" b.s. alot in the coming year.
(CNN) – The Republican party's most recent presidential nominee has earned a primary challenge from the right on President's Day.
J.D. Hayworth, a former Arizona congressman and radio host, is scheduled to formally announce Monday that's he's challenging Republican John McCain for his U.S. Senate seat.
Though his intentions have been known for months, Hayworth will formally announce his candidacy during a rally at his new campaign office in Phoenix at 10 a.m. local time (noon ET). The event kicks off what is scheduled to be a three-day, 10-stop campaign swing through the state.
Hayworth, who served for six terms in the House before losing his 2006 re-election bid, stepped down last month as host of his conservative talk radio program in Phoenix. While he says he respects McCain's service, he says McCain's been in Washington too long and isn't conservative enough.
"We all love and think the world of John and John's place in history is secure," the 51-year old Hayworth told CNN correspondent Casey Wian on Friday. "But John no longer represents the common sense conservative philosophy that most Arizonans share."
