So, anyone know any possible challengers to Kyl?

Seems AZ is in need of a Barack Obama-- the only name I keep hearing from people on who could defeat him is Napolitano, and she's going to have a hard time getting re-elected in the first place.

1. Jim Pederson was thinking of running.

2. Why would Janet have a hard time getting reelected?

She is popular and has not been veto-proofed.

3. because she only got a 3% lead with a third-parties getting 7% of the vote

and, if we're really unlucky, that stupid fucking gay marriage constitutional amendment might make it on the ballot, bringing the freaks out.

4. and that was then...this is now. If she continues to do

popular things and really keeps the charm on...she will sail back in. I tried my best to help her with Hayworth.

5. yes... this is the now, when Bush carried AZ by 5 points more then he did

in 2000, now, when we have Prop 200 passing by a wide margin, now, when we have people playing politics with a proposed gay marriage ban amendment which arguably increased the turnout of the far-right in critical swing states and shifted the election, now, when I hear my girlfriend's family saying they'd vote for Bush if Kerry picked Napolitano as his running mate, now, when Napolitano has to defend the budget cuts she was forced to make to social services, now, when the state senate isn't a 15-15 tie anymore, with them up.

sorry to be a downer.
