As I read this I can't help but think:
What is wrong with Arizona?
McCain... Flake... why can't Arizona Republicans elect someone who will actually BE "a Republican"??
Well, I think it's because as a state, Arizona is in the process of morphing from red to blue. Slowly, but inexorably.
California, to the west, is long, long gone, and it will NEVER come back.
New Mexico to the east has "tipped" to the blue.
Interestingly, in BOTH of these states, whites now no longer comprise the majority of residents.
Arizona ain't there quite yet.
But... it's tippin' a bit.
Can anything stop it from falling?
