Kyl to retire

[Landslide Lyndon]

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

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

Arpaio for Senate!

Seriously though, it's going to be Flake.

Arizona is a badass state. They are never going to send a Flake to the Senate!

Not gonna give her enough time to learn how to get her life together first, huh?

If she decides to enter the race, she will be a difficult target for Republicans. Attacking an assassination survivor sounds very unappetizing to me.

And yet you leftists attack Ronald Reagan all the time.

A Pelosi liberal is not winning Arizona.

Shut up troll.

What's minor about the distinction between being fully recovered quickly and being handicapped for life?

I reacted badly because in our non-hypothetical world, the biggest victim here is Giffords for being shot through the brain. If there is a political dimension to the loss, it's to Democrats whose strongest statewide candidate is now likely sidelined and incapable of serving. So you'll understand why I react badly to Republicans styling themselves as victims here based on a weak hypothetical or "people attacked Reagan and someone shot at him." I don't react well to that whining when in the real world Democrats have to cope with losing our senate candidate to a madman's gun.

Giffords is an anonymous Congresswoman. Your average American barely knows her name, and only because of this incident. Only a small percentage of political junkies is even interested in her day to day or week to week medical prognosis, and a year from now it'll mostly be off the news like all things go.

LOL! Apparently only well-known politicians deserve our sympathy when they are incapacitated because somebody tried to assassinate them.
And some people wonder why I call him a troll.

I think you missed 2nd grade reading class.

That's more than can be said about you.

Looks like Sheriff Joe is running for Kyle's seat.

Oh God, say it ain't so.

Now might be a good time for that conversation with God  Joe might be convinced to go for it.

I guess Democrats have a chance after all.
