On 550 KFYI This Morning, Barry Young Said That Hayworth “Needed These Debates Very Badly To Have A Knockout Punch,” But Failed To Deliver One, And “If Nothing Changes, McCain Will Win”:

Young: “In the case of Jim Deakin, if you want to do the protest vote, the bottom line here is that it’s really not going to have the effect that a protest vote did in the general election in 2008, because as the polls go right now – and again I don’t think the needle moved – McCain will win.

If nothing changes, McCain will win. …Young: “Nobody had anybody on the ropes. Nobody had a knockout punch. Nobody got near it. Nothing happened. Nothing happened between these two guys. And I said this earlier, J.D. needed these debates very badly to have a knockout punch, a homerun. And it doesn’t exist.”



Young And Co-Host Michele Larson Also Noted That Hayworth Can’t Bill Himself As A “Change” Candidate, Because He Knows His Way “Around The Beltway”:



KFYI’s Michele Larson: “And it’s interesting that Tom earlier called in with his story about meeting Jim Deakin. But he also, he said something that kind of slipped by me at first but he said, ‘well if we want to effect change we need to do that in our own state -- we need to look at our own guys.’ And in the break I looked at you and I said, ‘effect change?’ We’re arguing about who we’re going to elect between a guy who’s been in Congress and then the Senate since 1986, and a guy who served six terms in the United States House.”



Young: “So there’s no fresh blood coming in here.”



Larson: “We’re not effecting change.”



Young: “No.”



Larson: “But we are choosing between two very powerful, very talented, very articulate, very good people. But let’s not be silly about this. These guys both know their way around the Beltway.”



Young: “Yeah, there’s no question.”
