Though U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth wants to count every ballot in his losing bid for re-election, the National Republican Congressional Committee seems to have given up.

NRCC Communications Director Carl Forti told Republicans in an e-mail that Hayworth and several other GOP incumbents wouldn't be returning to Congress.

"The Scandal Factor Was Costly. We lost several seats by the self-inflicted route," Forti said in an internal "talking points" memo sent Wednesday to Republican strategists and pundits who discussed races on television.

Hayworth, a six-term incumbent representing Scottsdale, Tempe and parts of Mesa, Phoenix and Chandler, was dogged all year by ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

1. Good, now he can return to right-wing hate radio

Hayworth will be much happier spilling his bile over the airwaves, instead of enduring Nancy Pelosi as Speaker!

2. I don't think very many people like J.D. Hayworth.

Democrat or Republican, the guy is just an ASS! For a Republican to lose in the Scottsdale district is just amazing!
