Appointing Janet Napolitano was a deliberate thumb in the eye to the white citizens of Arizona -- the "kind of people" who vote for John McCain and John Kyl, f'rinstance.

Bet Napolitano tries to go after Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been picking up illegals and detaining them, with some kind of federal beef, and get him either thrown in prison or out of office, or both.

The famous "gunfight at the O.K. Corral" was actually a political fight. The Clanton "gang" were the local Democrats (one might take a tip from the name of the corral -- "O.K." was an old Democrat watchword and political tag), and the Earp family were the Republican enforcers whose job was to make the Grant Administration's, and Congress's, writ run in Tombstone to the exclusion of the Clantons. (Who were also adept at rustling beeves -- but that's another part of the story.) Moral of the story: like the range wars around Sedona and the fight in the O.K. Corral, Arizona politics can get plumb rough.
