Honestly, I had to look twice to be sure this isn't another blubber thread.

I like Kyl, but yeah, it's time.  It's also time for f****ace McCain to retire as well.

I don't like either much, but I'll gladly take Kyl again in exchange for McCain leaving.

Are there any incumbents who plan to run for reelection in 2012? With all these open Senate seats, new House maps and presidential race, 2012 will be a great year for political junkies.

Probably an easy R hold.  Democrats really don't have a bench in Arizona, and their best potential candidate is still lying in a hospital bed in Houston (I think).

That and I assume Obama is going to try to play up the AZ immigration law in 2012 to increase Hispanic turnout, and that's not going to help the Democrat's chances there.

The only way it could get better is if, say, George Bush (SR) announces an intent to run in 2012.

Or if Obama decides to bow out for some reason

Be ready for JD Hayworth to tak a shot again. Quayle will likely stay in the house

Too soon, but don't count him out as a future candidate if the powers that be in AZ like him.......

All right, does anyone seriously know who will run for the seat from both sides?

Jeff Flake is already declaring, practically. Should be an easy hold.

I wonder if Gabrielle Giffords would do it if she's recovered enough down the road. She'd certainly be unstoppable now.

As quickly as she's recovering, I think it would be too soon.

Probably Flake and/or Shadegg for the Republicans. For the Democrats, who knows. Phil Gordon and Terry Goddard have been bounced around as potential candidates.

Democrats always try to pull sentimental stunts like that (widows, disabled people, victims of violence), so yeah she will be recruited as long as she has a pulse. And voters are often dumb enough to base their vote on pathos, but "unstoppable" is stretching it.

Go Terry Goddard =) (I  don't think Giffords will be able to run in 2012...)

"Reached on his cell phone, first-term Rep. Ben Quayle said he had no comment on Kyl's plans, accused the reporter of calling the wrong number and then hung up. "
