Looks like John McCain's chickens are coming home to roost.From Politico...
Social conservatives tolerated John McCain as the party's nominee, but never trusted him, and he now appears to be facing a serious primary from the right in Arizona next year.
Chris Simcox, the founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and a prominent figure in the movement to clamp down on illegal immigration, will be announcing tomorrow at an event on the Mexican border that he's resigned from the group to run in the 2010 Senate primary.
Besides being an abysmally weak GOP candidate against the Cult-of-Obama tsunami, McCain has serially failed to secure the borders in his home state of Arizona, and he rushed back to DC during the election to vote FOR, I said FOR, the absurd bailout bill. The last election was no time for a supposedly conservative candidate to go quietly along with the tide of socialism and media sycophancy that swept a far-left, socialist community agitator into the White House. Had McCain stood his ground and held to conservative principles, he might have pulled it off. Maybe not, but he could have come much closer and he wouldn't be electorally threatened from his right flank in 2010. I hope Simcox wins. It'll be a wake-up call for other self-proclaimed "conservatives" to stick to conservatism on the job, not just during each campaign.

Good riddance! Comment from David in the country of Georgia.
Ed, I wanted to give your visit map another dot. Georgia is wedged between Russia, Turkey, Armenia Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea.
The protests here have been overrated however they do disrupt traffic through the capitol city.
Also everytime I visit yor sight from a public computer - in this case the Tbilisi Sheraton - I bookmark The Right Rant in the Browser's favorites.
Sweet! I do that too when I stay in hotels.
