U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth conceded Tuesday to Democratic challenger Harry Mitchell, one week after the Nov. 7 election.

His concession puts at least a temporary end to a 12-year political career.

Mitchell led Hayworth by about 6,000 votes and four percentage points on election night. But Hayworth had refused to concede because there were still tens of thousands of uncounted early ballots in Congressional District 5 and he hoped that returns from a strong Republican early-voting program would close the gap.

(snip)

Shortly after the results of Tuesday's counting were released, Hayworth released a printed statement:

"While there are still tens of thousands of votes left to count, it has become apparent that it is unlikely we'll get enough of these votes to win the election. We were confident we would close the gap as the early ballots were counted, and we have, but at this point it doesn't appear to be enough. Of course, if the result of the count changes, obviously I will abide by the will of the people.

"Therefore let me congratulate Harry for his likely victory in what was a tough campaign and wish him the best of luck. I would also like to thank my supporters and the thousands of volunteers who devoted their time to my campaigns over the years. I would be remiss if I did not single out the incredible efforts of so many volunteers in this most recent campaign.

I also want to thank my hard-working staff both here in Washington and in the district - those who served in an official capacity and those who worked on the campaign.

"One group - the group closest to me - never got time off during my 12 years in public office - my family. To my wife, Mary and our three children I say: Thanks for standing by me. Leaving the House isn't so bad, since I get to come home.

But most of all, I would like to thank the people of Arizona I represented for over a decade. Thank you for the honor of serving in the Congress of the United States."

12. Give 'em hell, Harry! (Some facts about Mitchell below)

Harry's brilliant, great to meet in person, and an all-around swell guy.



Mill Avenue, the downtown portion of Tempe, was a slum in the 1970s. Mitchell, as mayor, turned it around, brought businesses into it, and now it looks like this:

19. Thank you, Alexander, from a fellow Arizonan for the work you did

to help get Harry elected!

The state feels a little cleaner and fresher today, without Hayworth wearing our name.

[stevedeshazer]

14. He'd be perfect as another right wing talk show host.

I've heard it said that's what he used to be before getting elected in the first place.

Can anyone confirm that?

[Coventina]

16. No, he was a local sportscaster

I guess he better dust off his resume!!

[stevedeshazer]

21. Thanks, I knew he had some broadcasting background

Maybe he'll lose some more weight and join Fox News.

[Rainscents]

15. Hurray!!!

[MoonRiver]

17. YES! Another bottom feeder defeated!

[H2O Man]

18. Good.

He ranks high among the most repulsive human beings on the planet today.

[DesertRat]

20. Finally!

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

[Neshanic]

23. We are freeeeeee at last! No more seeing that freak on my screen!

There's a sportscaster spot open in Yuma if you are lookin' J.D.

This is wonderfull news.

[lies and propaganda]

24. Finally that SOB.

reminds of a freep post i read ysterday about the remaining House seats that arent done, he said "Why can the Dems just concede like all of the good Repugs did."

Ha! this fucker was getting 100 of 20,000 votes, he wasted shittons of taxpayer dollars.

[jillan]

25. Finally!!

Wish we would have done better in Az, but getting rid of JD is a start.

Yay!

[bagimin]

28. this supersedes all other victories combined

cause I won't have to see this scumbag on my screen again.

[Sugarcoated]

29. Good deal!

He's one of the more dishonest and revolting . . . and dimmest of the wingnuts - I'm very happy Arizonians gave him the pink slip. Many on my wish list got fired, but a few, Mean Jean from Ohio looking like she's one of them, squeaked by. And #@%$ing Sensenbrenner . . . but all in all very sweet. It's going to be a wonderful holiday season. :toast:
