Social Security And Medicare Dept: A few months ago, only five percentage points separated the two leading candidates in the Aug. 24 GOP primary. By last week, however, the gap had widened to 20 points in Mr. McCain’s favour. Republican voters had been souring on Mr. Hayworth’s self-aggrandizing style and seemed willing to give Mr. McCain another chance after he vowed to “complete the danged fence” running along the border with Mexico, according to Globe And Mail. “McCain wrote the amnesty bill, opposed the border fence, voted against border-security funding,” the TV spot says. The 2008 GOP presidential nominee even “allowed illegal aliens to get Social Security and Medicare.” Until Wednesday, the prospect of that happening seemed highly unlikely. But Wednesday’s decision by a Federal Court judge in Arizona to slap a preliminary injunction on most of the state’s contentious new law aimed at detaining and deporting illegal immigrants, just hours before it was to take effect, provided Mr. Hayworth with a homestretch opportunity to remind irate Republicans of Mr. McCain’s record. He didn’t waste it, launching a scathing new attack ad on Friday. As
