Gallego is well ahead of Lake in two-way polling.  Are none of the congressmen interested in a senate run?  Or are they giving up on the seat?

She will burn them like she tries to burn anyone who opposes her. 

She's become toxic.

Not sure what the story is on Kari's fundraising.

But she's starting to make McSally look like a good candidate.

I like the last few words of the article about Mark Lamb.

He could win.  If we gave him some money.

I've seen him speak a couple of times.

I'll be voting for him for sure. 

I want to say some really negative things about Lake.  But I won't.

She did cost us a governors race.  Do people realize that if she had not run, Robson would be governor. 

I get that people see her as a Ducey knock-off, but she might have carried Hamedah to the AG office with her. 

In the meantime, conservatives could really start working (together.....screw that super stupid moron Blake Masters....kick him out of the party) to develop some very good, electable candidates. 

We are two years away from the next Governors election.  There will be two democratic senators helping whoever the left nominates.  We should be working on this NOW.

Lake speaks at the RNC and basically castigates the press. 

Fox didn't carry the speech.  Other networks did.

I can't imagine the field day they had with that one.

Will her Senate run interfere with her responsibilities as the pretend governor of Arizona?

She's bascially killing what's left of her career in politics.

If she wins the primary and loses the election, i don't ever want to hear her name again.

I missed this one from back when they booed her at the Maricopa GOP convention.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mark-lamb-says-kari-lake-offered-him-a-trump-cabinet-position-to-get-out-of-senate-race/ar-BB1qdcJR?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=4da4efd8cab54107bceaa516c4b07ecb&ei=19

Now, following a Lake appearance on the radio, Jeff Fleetham, a Lamb supporter, posted a June email from the campaign in which the sheriff says in part, “In fact, Kari asked me to run for US Senator. When her legal proceedings didn’t pan the way she wanted to for Governor of AZ, she jumped on the Senator trail. She offered me a cabinet position with Donald Trump (which she is not allowed to offer) and even tried to intimidate me saying we do not have enough money to run.”

I asked the campaign to verify the quote and was told by Ed Morabito, senior adviser to Mark Lamb for U.S. Senate, “Yes, this language Jeff Fleetham referenced in his online post was sent out in an earlier email of by our campaign. Here’s our official statement (from Lamb) today: 'This is nothing new. These offers and suggestions that I leave the race and look at something else have come from Kari Lake and her supporters alike since she joined the senate race.' ”

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

The title is misleading.

However, more details from Lamb are needed.  What specifically was said and who said it.....was it really Lake ?

From Newsweek:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kari-lake-s-chances-of-beating-ruben-gallego-in-arizona-senate-race-polls/ar-BB1qPjXh?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=LCTS&cvid=53d5558983654d6193794fa80cf40a31&ei=13

An Emerson College poll found Gallego leading Lake by four points (46 percent to 42 percent). The poll surveyed 800 Arizonans on July 22-23 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

Meanwhile, a Public Policy Polling survey on July 19-20 found Gallego leading by seven points (49 percent to 42 percent). The poll was conducted among 736 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

A J.L. Partners poll, sponsored by Lake's campaign, found her with a one-point lead (44 percent to 43 percent). The poll was conducted among 513 likely voters on July 10-11.

Elsewhere, a Remington Research poll conducted among 638 likely voters from June 29 to July 1 found the two candidates tied, each receiving 47 percent support. Earlier polls also found Lake trailing. Remington is a Republican polling firm, according to FiveThirtyEight.

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

Not liking what I am seeing.

Against Gallego, a good conservative should be mopping the floor with him.

Yes, and I got blasted for saying she was a disaster in 2022.  I actually liked her approach in the general, but then when she lost.......

Please Kari, take it to court.......But STHU.

She won the primary, which flips the state blue most likely.  Regaining the senate just became tougher.  The republicans have to pick up 2 seats unless Trump wins.  West Virginia is a given if Jim Justice lives, but Montana is 50/50 and the other swing seats lean democrat.  The republicans would also have to retain competitive seats in Florida and Texas.

I see Maricopa voted Richer out as Recorder, and replaced him with Justin Heap. Heap agrees with Richer that "2022 was perfect."  No change in policy, and Richer, a Biden supporter, has another election to screw up.  Lake will lose, and so will Trump because the cheating will be legendary.

Yeah, a 350+ pounder may be living on borrowed time. I just wonder how he'll serve in the Senate without his dumb dog alongside.
Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

The open and heretofore Republican 8th district is being contested by Abe Hamedah, who refused to concede his recent defeat in the AG race, and Blake Masters, who blew the senate race.  Masters has referred to Abe as a terrorist sympathizer and having no skin in the game because he is unmarried and childless.  Perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump has endorsed both.

The Arizona GOP needs to be placed in a conservatorship.

Trump's downballot influence has not been helpful.  In many ways.

Masters turned out to be a huge moron. 

It sounds like Hamedah  is on his way to the house.  That is great.  I like him.

What we need is conservatives to stop smashing each other.

Black Masters can go screw himself for his lousy behaviour.

Lake wins.

Typical party MO is to let Lamb fade. 

He needs to be further developed for the next upcoming senate race. 

He's a good candidate, he just needs some time and money.

This is pretty common sense. 

I don't get boxing and I really don't get women's boxing.  But if women train and compete they should not be forced to fight men. 

It's total garbage and Lake can get some mileage out of things like this.

I don't know how to put it in words, but there is something about Lake that I think would put off voters to voting for her.  It is not a cringe factor, but it is something.

 :yowsa: :yowsa: :yowsa:

She is a Jeckle and Hyde.  During her 2022 primary, she was totally Trump-like.  She tore into her opponent (who I would have supported) and was a moron.  Once she was nominated, her tone changed and she showed she was very up on issues.  I thought she did a great job in the general.  If she had shut up about the election of 2020 (or not sounded like Trump), she would be governor (in spite of any cheating that may have gone on).

She is currently in her "Hyde" phase.  Now that she is nominated, we'll see how she does.

You can do the right thing the wrong way. 

And in this case, I am not sure that it was the right thing.

Lake was so wild in her primary against Robson, that she apparently burned some big bridges that can't be mended.

Here is Ruben Gallego, her opponent.  He is a certified wack-job marxist (IMHO) who will not represent anything but socialistic ideas in congress.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Arizona Democrat Ruben Gallego is promoting Republican backing for his Senate campaign as the congressman works to assemble a winning coalition in the swing state.

A list being released Sunday of Republican supporters of his campaign includes moderate Republicans and some former Republicans who held elected office or other roles in business or politics. Several are former aides to the late Sen. John McCain, the famed Arizona Republican and onetime prisoner of war who was known for occasionally bucking his party.

My Precinct Captain told me she was done.  She doens't want any part of this anymore.  That's what acting like Trump and Lake does to people.

They are spot on in terms of principle (Lake in particular), but they have screwed themselves and us with all the B.S. rhetoric. 

Frankly, I am starting to lose interest.

If my County Party reelects the current Chair, I will also be leaving the Party.  She's evil.  Enough of this crap. 

As for Robson-Taylor, if there was bad blood with Kari Lake, I would bet Robson is the source of the problem.  She's not a nice person, and has lots of experience palling up with the McCainiacs.  Kari wants the McCainiacs out, and that's the source of her problems with the Party.  Also, let us not forget we have a lot of Democrat cheating to overcome.

I don't know about Robson being nice.  I DO KNOW Lake was a complete headcase during the primaries. 

I get Lake and her desire, but her approach drives off others who don't like the raucus stupidity.  Shes not winning anyone (and neither is Trump) who isn't "all in".  Presently, I am pissed at Trump over Vance, but that is a different story.  My desires to protect the court have been and continue to be my primary driver.

I have not heard of any issues with this election other than, once again, we can't frigging count votes fast enough.  This is stupid.  Maybe there is news out there, but I have not heard it.

What I do know is that Lake recorded DeWitt and screwed him over.  Like him or not, she was dead wrong on that one.  And she only further lost support.
