Of course this is only for discussion because:
1.) Arpaio has not announced
2.) Flake is the real contender due to Arpiao's polarization factor and...
3.) The Senate seat will (by sentimental default) go to Gabby Giffords if she recovers even mentions the idea of running.

Number three is plausible. Sentiments can be a fine thing, but that should not decide who is a Senator.

Would love to see him go up against Nepolitano.
There won't be enough popcorn to go around.

And Arpaio is in his 70’s, correct? I’m no ageist but I think that’s a little too old to be starting off in the Senate. I’d love to see his brand of fire and brimstone brought to Congress, but I don’t think it’s practicable. Also on Gabby Giffords, sadly she’ll be lucky to be mentally and physically able to hold onto her own house seat. She still has a long road to recovery.

I positively hate the talk about the Senate seat going to Rep. Giffords "by default."
She seems all right as far as Democrats go, but getting shot is not a qualification for a seat in the U.S. Senate. This sort of talk illustrates a real problem in our political system today-- the power of celebrity over ideas (I'm talking to YOU President Obama!).
The worst part is that the talk is actually probably close to the reality.
Then again, in 2012, who wants to be defending Obamacare?

AND before “Gabby” was elected her “district” had elected a OPENLY HOMESEXUAL “RINO”! Her “district” must be full of people who are SWIVED in the head.
To: Baynative
The DUmmies are beside themselves at the thought of Gabby running for Senate, regardless of any residual disabilities. They think she could beat Jesus.
Classy bunch.

I don’t know if I buy #3. Nov. 2012 is a long time away, and people have short memories.

I like Sheriff Joe, but he is a little old for that job. We need a young conservative who will be around for awhile.
To: Baynative
And the Democratic machine will be sure that Giffords is on the ballot.

RUN, JOE RUN !

Arizona conservatives fought like hell in November to unseat this nutcase.

Isn’t Jeff Flake pro-amnesty?
In which case he would be equally polarizing.
I doubt Gabby Giffords will have the stamina to run. She has a lot of recovery to go.
I wouldn’t count JD Hayworth out yet.

She’ll run from her hospital bed. All she’ll have to do is announce that she’s a candidate and it’s a done deal.
