At least we can be grateful that Flake is nearly out of the senate. Hopefully for good. I doubt he can ever run in Arizona again.
A lot of people were pretty angry about the Green Acres incident, and were guaranteed to make an issue of how the charges against Austin mysteriously disappeared at every Town Hall Traitor Flake attended. That embarrassment, along with his sagging poll numbers, were why he decided to retire and not run again.
He had dreams of being the next McCain and reaching across the aisle for fame and fortune, but the voters had other ideas.
