If Ted Kennedy was still alive, he would be campaigning for him

Arizona is like Massachusetts in reverse. We are a very conservative state that sometimes elects Democrats to statewide office or Republican-leaning districts when they are perceived as competent and moderate or conservative.
Note what I say about “perceived”; not all of them deserve their reputations.
Before Carmona, who is really not that bad for a Democrat, there were Napolitano, Mitchell, Stump, DeConcini, and Babbitt.
Flake is a good guy, but he’s been coasting, and all of a sudden he is now finding that he’s got a real fight on his hands.

Carmona was a good SG and would be an asset to the Senate. Too bad he is a D and there are too many Ds in the Senate. Yeah, he sounds like a real gem

, just how the hell is Flake in trouble in Arizona to begin with?
In 19809 (In the Reagan landslide) Barry Goldwater almost lost to George Schultz. That race was not decided until Wed. morning. I remember, because I was there.

"Carmona was a good SG and would be an asset to the Senate."That's hard to see how when his chief of staff is blaming a non-candidate for Carmona's troubling outbursts.
Politico: "Tameron, Carmonas top campaign aide, said Beato was attempting to deflect attention from her own activities by raising the explosive allegations against Carmona."
"Deflect attention from her own activities" ??! Like what, going to the grocery?
Just to be clear, my opinion of him was and remains -- he's a hardcore douchebag. Arizona is going to shitcan Carmona's political career, and there's nothing for him after this but Tucson dogcatcher...

Carmona is a loose cannon. Read up on his shootout with a suspect and the number of innocent people he narrowly missed hitting. His resume looks good but he sides with the team that required our Border Patrol agents to use beanbags against known dangerous targets. Az doesn’t need him or his ilk.

flake is an open borders rino I get that, but the Democrat will be more open border, more left leaning, and represent a party that is more of both also.

Putting this quip aside for a second, just how the hell is Flake in trouble in Arizona to begin with?The illegal alien vote the Democrats depend on? That's why they pushed this scumbag Carmona to run in the first place.
To: greatvikingone
Carmona was a good SG and would be an asset to the Senate.No. He wouldn't.
He would fall right into line with the rest of the socialist, America-hating scumbag Democrats. He would be a nightmare.
To: Lancey Howard
Well there are some things not adding up here. We know Obama will not win this state - and one would think the Senate would follow in this years election.
And I hear Flake is soft in immigration, which also doesn’t make sense that he would get beat in the hispanic vote worse than Mitt.
Or, polls could be BS.

Or, Flake being soft on illegal aliens hurts him with the conservative base, which takes him for a pandering fool.
To: Lancey Howard
He probably is a pandering fool. But he will vote against Obama Care - his opponent will not. The conservative base will be slitting their own throats, and mine and yours, if they sit it out for Flake.

Flake also supports the sodomization of the US military.
He is slitting his own throat.
To: C. Edmund Wright
Why would his quip (joke) cause him not to get elected if he was in the lead or gaining on Mr. Flake for goodness sake Joe Biden is the VP and look at the crap he says and does. I think the man was going to lose anyway and they are just using this as an excuse.
