His REFUSAL to drop out.
There is something sick and odd about this.
He couldn’t even win R-heavy Maricopa County as sheriff-—how does he ever think he’d win a statewide race when you have to account for about 175,000 Ds in Tucson?
How could Blankenship running in WV siphon votes from anybody in Az?
Why is there an Az discussion here?
No, I said Blankenship would siphon votes from Morrissey in WV.
I know but why is there this discussion about Arpaio on this thread? It should only be about WV & Blankenship.
Cuz, as I recall, someone asked. And because it is a theme about third party candidates affecting elections.
I guess. Seems to me the thread was hijacked to discuss Arpaio rather then Blankenship, Manchin, etc.
I still think Manchin will win, probably in a squeaker.
Don’t count your chickens yet.
Blankenship is likely headed to Federal Court.
Sore loser laws are, in my opinion, Constitutionally problematic because it does not make any provision for political parties even existing.
(Atlanta) – The Trafalgar Group (TFG) released its first West Virgina U.S. Senate general election poll today. TFG, recognized for having the most accurate polling in the 2016 battleground states and Electoral College projection, conducted the poll from July 13th through July 16th. The poll measures West Virginia voters’ support for candidates in the US Senate election, and how that support would change if Senator Manchin votes for or against President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh.
TFG conducted this survey of 1158 respondents from a random stratified selection of likely 2018 general election voters. The margin of error is +/- 2.88. The results were:
49.9% Joe Manchin (D)
39.5% Patrick Morrisey (R)
2.3% Rusty Hollen (L)
8.3% Undecided
If Joe Manchin votes for Kavanaugh:
58.7% Joe Manchin (D)
30.1% Patrick Morrisey (R)
2.2% Rusty Hollen (L)
8.1% Undecided
If Joe Manchin votes against Kavanaugh:
46.5% Joe Manchin (D)
44.6% Patrick Morrisey (R)
2.3% Rusty Hollen (L)
6.7% Undecided
Because it popped up
That is very interesting
That’s FR for ya.
Yes, I think Joe hangs on again. But to do so he’ll vote for Kavanaugh.
Article 1, Section 4 leaves “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives” up to the states’ legislatures. So I see no US constitutional issues.
Wow, this makes zero sense.
Can Dems vote in GOP primaries? Or polls?
I do not wish Mister McCain into the grave; however, the realities are that if he does not retire with grace, the grim reaper is still at his back door.
C'mon good Republicans of the Great State of Arizona. You are much better than this!

Depends on the state. In AZ, you have to be an R to vote in the R primary.
