Who needs a debate? Momentum moves to Kari Lake from Katie Hobbs in Arizona governor race

SNIP

Hear that sound?

That’s the whoosh of momentum shifting in the Arizona governor’s race.


What began as a contest about Kari Lake’s immersion, body and soul, into the populist waters of Donald Trump has now become a story about the faint heart and ineptitude of her Democratic opponent, Katie Hobbs.


The ah-hah moment in the Arizona governor’s race came as a short video that blazed across social media this week and flipped a light switch in the minds of state Republicans and Democrats.

My take is that is was a bad idea not to debate.

But this whole controversy makes no sense to me. Lake had her pulpit this week. Hobbs agreed to an interview next week. Is she not supposed to talk to the media? The press got the vapors about how scandalous this was, and Lake got sanctimonious and cancelled her own appearance?
Hobbs still has an interview next week while Lake stomps around complaining that she doesn’t have a debate that she cancelled herself!

On the heels of that Step n' Fetchit performance of Uncle Hershel's in Georgia where to me, Warnock didn't attack Step in Fetchit enough on substance, my damn friend called me right after I cooled off. Like I needed to have a hideous Friday night like this. I told him thanks a lot, first step in fetchit to him telling me how bad Hobbs was. I had a headache, but feel better now. My next door neighbor tole me to try to lay off politics for a while. She said her daughter saw that routine by Walker and couldn't believe how ignorant, unintelligible he is. Her Mom told her I told you kiddo, the guys just that bad. Like a train-wreck. I don't need the stress of looking into Walker's dead eyes for a while. Never answered a question, just kept pivoting to Warnock and Biden
