Bloomberg: Arizona Gov. Brewer Visiting Soldiers In Afghanistan



TOM KLUDT 7:51 AM EST, WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 5, 2012

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is currently in Afghanistan visiting soldiers from her home state, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

Brewer left Arizona on Dec. 2, and her whereabouts and intended destination were both initially undisclosed. A spokesman for the governor said only that she was traveling on "official business." Brewer filed a notice with the state's secretary of state before her departure indicating that she would be out of Arizona until Dec. 8.

Maybe she feels the legal challenge to her running for another term is easily beaten back, or maybe she sees herself as Sarah Palin with an entire governator term under her belt.
Besides, I expect the GOP will run either same old white guy stuff in 2016, or run some sort of black Hispanic female mixture of candidates because that is more feasible for them than changing their actual agenda.
Maybe she sees a Hunstman/Brewer ticket - sane seeming white guy for part of the GOP base, Tea Party woman for the Freeper types.

7. She had to do this rather than certify the state's election results?

Priorities???? What drug cocktail was she on when she decided that was brilliant? Oh yeah, the same one Roger Ailes ingested before he decided Sarah Palin was brilliant.
