McCain and Palin will hit the campaign trail again Friday (Getty Images).
Tucson, Arizona (CNN) - Sarah Palin on Friday will again be urging voters to come out in support of Sen. John McCain.
This time, though, Palin is hoping to help McCain keep his current job as he faces a primary challenge from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.
McCain and Palin will appear together at a Friday afternoon rally in Tucson, Arizona, and a Saturday event in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa. She will also headline a fundraiser for him.

McCain is now pallin' around with domestic terrorists. That ought to get him Arizona support.
McCain has used women all his life to his advantage. Old habits die hard.
With all due respect to Ray Charles, everybody sing!
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road, Jack, and don't youcome back no more.
Wouldn't one call this a "reach around"?
Sarah Palin is awesome, she has the right ideas to fix Obama's blunders. I can't wait for a President Sarah Palin in 2013!!
I hope he gets his $100,000 worth from her.
This is a good reason why McCain will lose. If at this point and this age, he still doesn't get it and is letting Palin "help"him, the guy totally needs to go to the rest home.
I bet he is thrilled. Maybe he would be better off with an endorsement from Lady Gaga.
Did someone forget to tell them that the presidential election ended over a year ago? And they LOST!
I hope she brings as much luck to his campaign as she brought to his.
McCain is marginally better than the right-wing "radio personality" lunatic who is challenging him for the Republican nomination.
The voters of Arizona are usually happy to vote for the least intelligent candidates who, if elected, will fight for lower wages for the middle class, outsourcing of our jobs, and elimination of our benefits. I hope they will break with this hard-headed tradition and elect someone to the Senate who is not a Conservative. It can be a Vegan, an animal rights activist, the head of a drug gang, Lady Gaga, the Octomom, Doctor Phil, anybody – just not another Conservative.
McCain might as well just clean out his office. He has prooven that he is willing to gamble bad choices with the hopes that a political stunt like Palin for VP would land him the job of President. GEESH!!! What a looser. Now he is dumb enough to allow her to campaign for him.. He is more foolish than I origionally thought. Clearly Palin is a crack pot. People are puttign her on TV simply becuase she is alwyas willing to make a specticle of herself. However she has proven herself to be so stupid that I wouldnt hire her to manage a boy scout Christmas fund.
It looks like McCain didn't learn the first time around!
Good job McLame. Not only did this bimbo lose the election for you, she's gonna help get you kicked out of office.
John McCain should not have this barbie hanging on his shoulders now. What he should do is campaign by himself and let the American people know that he can do something on his own to win. These people are only distractor to his base.
Did he not learn the lesson from the presidential election? Maybe he thinks Sarah can fool the "Zonies".
How much is he paying her?
It's the least she can do. Of course why McCain wants to be associated with her is beyond me....Waiit. He's eunning against JD Hayworth. Never mind., He has to troll the bottom of the pond for the nomination. Never mind.
Two odd couples and Tea Party activists!
The picture of desparation
McCain is too senile to be a senator for another 6 years.
with all due respect, it is time for Senator McCain to retire
I'll never forgive John "The fundamentals of the economy are strong" McCain for unleashing this shallow, shrill, self-serving. narcissistic, Octomom wannabe onto the American public.
Senator, you're a bitter old man who has lost his compassion for others. It's time for you to retire. By the way Senator, do you receive any "socialistic" benefits from the FEDERAL government (eg health insurance, social security, VA benefits, pension, etc.)? If you do, man up, and reject them. Do not be a hypocrite.
Mc Cain is a great guy of 20 th Century but out of sync with 21 st Century.Sarah is a clown. Mc cain is going to lose.
She was what KILLED McCain in the last election and with McCain suppiorting Palin now on her CROSS HAIRS that she put out on the Democrats that voted for this Health Care Bill is out rageous for McCain to do.......after all isn't he suppose to be the Great Hero that went and fought for everyones right in American to VOTE the way they want, for our Freedom, well for him to say it is nothing wrong with the Wedsite that Palin has put out with "RELOAD" and Cross Hairs is controdictory to what he went and FOUGHT for.......She will continue to bring McCain down and anyone else she supports, she is the KISS OF DEATH......and by the way Republicans stop saying the Democrats voted against the will of the People.......There are millions of us that wanted this Health Care, so don't speak for us........
And this is going to help him??
How many buses are left for Palin to throw McCain under? Poor guy, leave him alone.
Oh, please, no more McCain/Palin! He does not care for you and neither does she!Please Arizona, end this misery!
It's touching, the sincerity of this moment in politics. Awwwwww. John and Sarah, back together again. That is, until he starts taking his crazy pills again and realizes he actually hates her... but let's cherish this time.
I think Palin being there will be bad for McCain. She has proven over and over to be a certified idiot. People are sick and tired of her mouth and face.
Can all that hate be kept under control for a couple of days? mccain has really hit the bottom of the barrel when all he has left is the same woman who lost the 2008 election for him.
Does he understand that whoever shows up that it's not for him but for her. For whatever reason why would anyone wants to listen to that shrill voice for even a minute?
Why doesn't Cindy divorce him and write a book about the real mccain?
Is she going to call hayworth a terrorist also? She has nothing good to say about anyone and if you don't believe me read Game Change. She goes off into her own little world. It's like an out of body experience thingy that the quitter does. It's scary!!
Did McCain forget why he lost the last election? republicans never seem to brain up
Sure, that worked well for him in 08. Good think we didn't elect this grumpy old man. Can't even learn from his own mistakes!
My guess is McCain will welcome Palin's support to help him win the Republican primary but will then distance himself from her radical, ignorant views so he can appear to be more moderate in the general election.
What a pair of losers. For teh sake of America I hope they have no hope of winning. The scary thing is that Mc Cains' replacement is from the even more lunatic fringe of the extreme right.
Geezer and Gidget, the sequel.
She's a very forgiving women to help out
McCain.
Well, come out, come out, where ever, all you Palin hating, bashing Dems are! Seems like you would comment more on policies and politics than hating people!
Anyone else see some hypocracy here?
Sure, he picked her to be Veep, but since then Sarah has shown an untla conservative bent and Sen McCain has always been a moderate.
Oh I know he's a maverick and she says she's a maverick, but are they really on the same page that she would spend time campaigning for him?
Sounds like someone got to her and said she needed to do this is she wanted any support from the RNC.
What's the difference between Palin and a RNC insider? I can't find one
TTTT, Palin owes McCain a LOT more than just 'hitting the trail'. I think the Dems actually owe Palin for McCains loss TBH.
McCain made her well known and rich so it,s time to help him.
Guess he really doesn't want to remaina senator from Arizona anymore. What the heck is he thinking? She is a good portion of why he lost his Presidential bid......................
These two peas in a pot have been going rogue for quite sometime now. Its time for McCain to retire and let the fresh blood take over!
The picture of these two together says it all.
Arizona needs to take a hint from Alaska and America there's reason why 80% of the population thinks palin is a total nut case!And her side kick is just an irrational old man.
McCain must be in real trouble to want support from Sarah the space cadet!
A perfect match. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.
Frankly, CNN, I don't give a hoot about either McCain or Palin.
Oh Boy !!!!!! Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber – Together again.
Can't wait for this, hopefully I can catch the rally. John and Sarah make a great team, maybe John should even think about running again, or be Sarah's VP.
Palin 2012
From the Presidential campaign to the Senate campaign. What a progress!!!
Looks like a -– LOVE FEST !!!!!
Just look at how much she helped him in the big election of 2008.
Just go away you stupid idiot. The intelligent, non-trash people of this country are sick of your stupidity.
While we're at it, I hope McCain loses his election.
What a couple of cronies. Dumb & Dumber II
Oh yeah. Are we going to be subject to more hate rallies? And if so, I'm not sure how much more we can take.
To the good people of Arizona who support John McCain are you aware he recently said he will be doing nothing for the rest of the year? Just thought you should know you've elected a man who just said he will be doing nothing for you, and you're paying him to boot.
I do not understand the hype with Sarah. By defintiion and history she could be considered a domestic terroist with that hit map she displayed this week. Isn't that what Bill Ayers did back in the day? To reward her for her courage or is it gall, she is rewarded a reality show on the discovery channel and of course I will never watch any Discovery Channels again as they seem to promote domestic terroism. She also get 1 million per episode. Am I jealous? Heck yes, if I did what she did I would probably be watched by the FBI. Just like Charles Manson if any of the elected officials on her "hit list" are hurt she should be held responsible for it. But I know she will be excused.
These two WERE NOT qualified for President or Vice President. Is this the best the Republican party has?
Please give someone else a chance ... someone with character, a brain and an original thought.
Sarah Rocks!
Thank you Gov. Palin for explaining your support of John McCain
Keep up the good work, Gov.Palin!
Dumb, & Dumber, good luck Rep. J.D. Hayworth, should be a piece of cake.
There are numerous reasons to admire Sarah Palin, her courage, her inner strength, her honesty, integrity, her poise, her charm, her knowledge about energy, her leadership ability.
In the liberal worldview assertions are the truth, everything else is hateful opposition to the agenda. All those who oppose the agenda are evil. There are no facts other than what proves the assertion, all else is misinterpreted or irrelevant data. The agenda determines the assertion, the assertion is the truth and only the relevant facts support the assertion. Anyone who attempts to subvert the truth of the assertion is evil and their minds are full of hate. Thus forms the perfect circle of liberal thought, the agenda, the truth and the relevant facts. If you are a lawyer reading this, you know why the American system of law has nothing to do with justice, the perfect circle is drawn by the line of argument.
Ah yes the intellectually challenged Palin bashers continue their rants of hate because the democrats lack a smart, sexy, charismatic women candidate for higher office. It all boils down to pure jealousy that the Republican party will claim first women elected president, and shatter the liberal feminist movement forever.
maybe – if Hayworth defeats McCain, Sarah will figure out that she's hurting more than helping the Republican cause.
Like that which falls out of the back end of a horse, Sarah Palin is hitting the trail.
I guarantee, if J.D. Hayworth were running against anybody but her benefactor McSame, she would be campaigning for him. He's her kind of crazy.
Sarah has a leadership aura. she is so engaged with everything, and brings that charismatic charm wherever she goes.
Now I see why politicans ask actors and entertainers to campaign for them– you don't need credibility to win an elections, just popularity.
What is she going to say–Vote for John, because based on my vast knowledge of his knowledge of the issues, that I think he is the best because.........
American voters, we really are guillible.
Keep up the good work, Gov.Palin!
Sarah is all class. she loves all americans!
The notion that she is some sort of obsessive partisan is a media propagated myth.
Was there ever such an amazing lady...with such grace and kindness. Then add to that all the attacks of the media that keep coming.
I love Sarah palin’s no-nonsense approach to the issues. She’s not one of these good ole boy types that does nothing but worry about how many pet projects he or she might get.
sarah palin is a very smart women. She has great Management skill, and gets people moving.
the two things about Sarah Palin that I don't think have been adequately appreciated are, number one, if you look at the numbers, she really wasn't that different than Barack Obama in terms of experience and time in office, and [things] like that. The real big difference between the two was she hadn't campaigned non-stop for two years, and had she campaigned non-stop on the national stage for two years she'd have been just as polished as Barack Obama. She's a phenomenal politician and there's no better retail politician on the planet than Sarah Palin with a microphone in front of a crowd. So I think the big experience gap was the one that is about running on a national ticket—he had a lot more experience there and it showed up.
