True. I generally like Barone, but he’s overstepping it here.
Speaking of AZ, I read on the Red Racing Horses blog that the current buzz is that former Rep. Matt Salmon is strongly considering the race (and the Club for Growth has already made a statement in support of him) while Rep. Trent Franks is out, as is former Gov. Jan Brewer, and Dave Schweikert has claimed he’s not sure he has the “burning passion” to run but hasn’t shut the door fully yet.
I was wondering if Salmon would interested.
Salmon ran and lost statewide in 2002 for Governor in a thoroughly winnable race (first time in 20 years a Republican lost that race). He had ample opportunity to challenge McQueeg or run for Kyl’s open seat in 2012 and passed. Bannon already stated he’s sticking with Ward even if Salmon gets in. So am I.
