Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) announced Wednesday that she will not seek a third term, ending months of speculation that she might challenge state law in order to seek four more years in office. Brewer has been at the center of big legislative debates that have stoked national controversy over immigration and gay rights. She recently vetoed a bill that would have allowed businesses to refuse service to gays and lesbians if it violates their religious beliefs.​

1. They'll just elect another crazy to the job.

Getcha program - can't tell the crazies without a program!

12. Babbitt was good governor. Alice Cooper ran once under the motto, "A Troubled Man for Troubled....

Times."

2. Just saw the NYT breaking.

Maybe *ahem* the Democrats can field someone. This was the state that had Napolitano as governor.

11. Yes the Napolitano who endorsed Sheriff Joe Arpaio a couple of terms back.

There is only one Democrat running for governor. I had never heard of him before he started running.

3. Interesting

The Wicked Witch of the Southwest is not seeking another term? Oh,that trial balloon calling for bigotry based on Religion,was a P.R. stunt. Just checking her polling numbers. What a FAKE the GOP has turned into. O.K. Dems,lets kick some ass and take some names.

10. She was term limited.

She could not run again.

13. Brewer

by law , she is only allowed 2 terms , but , of course , she was floating the 3rd term balloon , and it crashed ( thank goodness ) .

4. Watch out for the crazy ass Melvin that Anderson Cooper skewered re: anti-gay shit

In February, 2014, Melvin was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN, regarding Melvin's support for Arizona SB 1062, which had been characterized as allowing religious people to discriminate against others, if their beliefs were offended by those other people.[5] The following is an excerpt from their conversation:[6]
Cooper: “You can’t cite one example where religious freedom is under attack in Arizona.”
Melvin: “Not now, no, but how ’bout tomorrow?”
Cooper: “I don’t understand what that means.”

16. Yep, that guy is dangerous

I hope for the sake of Arizona he doesn't win. He'd be MUCH worse than Brewer.

5. I still can not believe she ever became Governor...

She is an incredibly ignorant woman.

[rollin74]

6. so is Arpaio going to run?

I hope that clown doesn't end up being their next governor

[Wait Wut]

8. Too old...

...he's 80 something. Reps/Cons will find someone sufficiently batshit to run instead.

[rdmtimp]

15. Plus (per state law) he'd have to resign as sheriff once he declared his candicacy....

...and you know he won't risk that.

[The Green Manalishi]

7. Bet she goes for Senator

I see no good reason why not; the R's hate McCain, he's not crazy or racist enough for 'em.

[santamargarita]

9. Who said she'd get it?

[SkatmanRoth]

14. Good, the old hag doesn't need to be seen in public.

Now if we can just get rid of Joe Arpaio there might be some improvement to that State.

Issa is coming up for election too. If the citizens of San Diego can get their stuff together, maybe we can dispense with his sorry theatrics.

[Skittles]

18. it's not her age or looks that are the problem

it's just that she is an ugly person INSIDE

[Judi Lynn]

17. We know the right-wing has a bottomless pit full of these people to run as candidates.

You can be sure their next entry will be a winner, too.
