Well, that didn't take long. Based on just 10 percent of the vote in Arizona, CNN has declared incumbent Sen. John McCain the winner of the GOP primary for U.S. Senate:
Veteran lawmaker and former presidential candidate John McCain took the first step Tuesday toward securing a fifth term representing Arizona in the U.S. Senate as he secured the Republican nomination over Tea Party favorite J.D. Hayworth. Shortly after the first results were released in Arizona, McCain was leading Hayworth 59% to 30% and was declared the victor for the nomination by CNN.McCain had the endorsement of Sarah Palin, his running mate in the 2008 presidential race.
