Let's hope that anger spells votes.

Agreed

One thing they have in their favor... AZ proved cheating in the last election. AZ is pissed off. And AZ is super pissed off at the McCain't machine.

They are making ways to fix all that, and are filled with righteous anger. And there ain't much in this world that will stop a righteous man.

That's a remarkably perceptive view of the sea in which I swim....

It helps that Katie Hobbs is a moron.

Mark Kelly isn't much better.

There is no denying Masters has the most difficult race.  Kelly has a "McCain advantage," who was a Vietnam war hero and had a solid base of inattentive followers from both parties, while Kelly is a space "hero" with an equally brainless bunch of fanbois.  It remains to be seen if Kelly has that pull among Republican voters, because I honestly don't know right now.

The reason Kelly got elected was Trump's foolish endorsement of Martha McSally (who had already lost the Senate race against Sinema).  There were better candidates.

O.K.

"would have been".

Is there a chance he "could be" ?  Is he around ?

Others we should search out ?

I've met David Farnsworth.  He seems like a good man.

I like Farnsworth too, so happy he stomped on that worm Bowers in the Primary.  Not to pry, but what LD are you in these days?  I want to see who you have running....

McCarthy did reasonably well in that Primary (I voted for him), but he was running against a Trump endorsed candidate, an endorsement that really pissed me off.  He's very conservative, but he had a falling our with the State GOP and probably won't run again.

I have to respect it. Even if it fails, it is a righteous attempt to correct it within the will of the people.

Compared to Georgia, as an instance, where Republicans in charge are stepping on attempts of the people to get to the bottom of the same sort of thing. We have been shown voluminous evidence, and Georgia Republican representatives have chosen to be complicit.

That's a big difference, and AZ deserves my support.  :beer: :patriot: :seeya:

I'm a total outsider to Arizona.

But from where I am, it looks like Kari Lake will squeak by to win her race.

Mr. Masters, however a good show he puts up, is gonna lose.

I call 'em as I see 'em.
And that's how I see these two...

No worries.

I was in 16 up until they realigned.  That was how I met Farnsworth.  Now I am in 15.

The only one I know is Jaqueline Parker, running for house.  She seems pretty good.

The senate candidate (Jake Hoffman) and other house person (Neal Carter) I know nothing about.

I do have the name of the LD15 chair, but I have not reached out to her yet.  I will wait until after the dust clears (after November). 

BTW: I have only started "being" in AZ more than I was out of AZ.  Been a long time coming.

***********************

So, what was McCarthy's issue ? 

This used to happen in Kansas.  There would be all this interplay and someone would get primaried or be asked to step aside so someone else could run....and they would fade away.  And the state party never reached out to them.  I was like WTH ?  These are people who want to be involved.   We need to keep them engaged and part of the machinery.

One other person I met was Kelly Townsend.  My guess is that she was more moderate and really didn't fit well with conservatives.  That was just my take. 

She lost a primary to Wendy Rogers (who I've never met....but clearly got a lot of press in 2020).

Did Masters really say he wanted to fire all the generals because they were left-wing and replace them with conservative Colonels ?

It's been reported all over the place. 

Supposedly there are news clips.

Still looking.

It's not looking good for Masters.

The needle hasn't moved for him in the polls.

Kelly is sporting 10X the bank account (52 million......52 million for a senate seat really ???)

I don't know how she couldn't.

They didn't just vote her out.....

They really really dumped her.

So, we can only hope that Kelly's big war fund only takes him so far. 

The AZ GOP has a lot of work to do.
All Liz needed to do was look at the numbers on the 2020 election for her home State. Offend that many voters, that proportion of the electorate, and it doesn't matter who you are, you're going down in flames. She indicated she had 'Beltway Fever' and instead of chilling on that, turned up the heat and it proved (politically) terminal.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

How was Kelly able to raise $52 million after only two years in the Senate?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-

It looks like that money is going to sink Masters.

Bummer.....whose up to take on Sinema in 2 years ?

I have not heard anyone pushing for the spot. 

And I hope Martha McSalley isn't pushing for the part.

That's a little over $7 spent for every man, woman and child in the state... And many of the ads are downright lies...

I don't recall how many times I've asked you to stop following the polls. They aren't measuring you, they are trying to persuade you.

Glenn was a disappointment in many ways.

Kelly has been more than that.

But what is more important is the blatant power grab by those "in charge".

The whole idea of a senator spending that much money is beyond me.  But that is what lengths people will go to in order to push their "agenda".

Kelly isn't even a good puppet.  He's way to transparent.

Problem is.....Masters does not represent anything "bring and shiney".  He's just "not Kelly". 

His message isn't lost due to the lack of money.  His message just isn't that great.

I'll be voting for him.  But I haven't been all that enthusiastic about him.

Lake is a different story. 

She's got command of things.....if dufus Hobbs didn't have the "She's with Trump" message, she's be a completely empty suite.
