...what you got." The name Lovie he got from his great-aunt Lavana, no doubt requiring him to become a very tolerant man. His most stirring performance took place in 1988, when his son Matthew, then 2, fell into the family's pool. (Smith was an assistant at Arizona State.)

Hayworth is up against a popular local official, Harry Mitchell, whose first TV ad last week led with charges that Hayworth took $100,000 from Abramoff and his clients. "This guy's going to be all Abramoff all the time," says Hayworth. "But it's just not going to work." Or maybe it will. The Democrats claim Mitchell leads Hayworth by 3%, but the Republicans have Hayworth ahead...
