Definitely not a good time for anyone to claim victory here, since Giffords just resigned last week and we currently have no polling data, yet.

I wonder whether this election will be simply be on candidates and parties like most other special elections, or will Giffords' circumstances give a boost to the Democrat (even if only slight) above what it would be on paper.

State Rep. Matt Heinz is running for the dem. nomination. He's gay and is only 34. It would be great to have him representing AZ-8 Smiley

Oh, that's true. The GOP congressman who decided to retire and supported Giffords in 2006 was gay!

Giffords' district director Ron Barber has entered the race as a caretaker candidate for the remainder of the term, causing Matt Heinz to drop out (but he's still running in the new AZ-02). That's kind of confusing.

Maybe he wants Giffords' endorsement in General. But it would be better to have a leg on seniority.

Four candidates have filed so far; Monday is the filing deadline. Kelly might not make it onto the ballot, he didn't put in much more than the minimum number of signatures required.

Surely the sympathy vote will help the Democrats here.

I believe he wound up running in another district. Redisctricting, or something to that tune.

Alas, I assume that Kelly has it in lockdown for the Pubs.  I think the odds are about 3-2 that the Dems will hold the seat. Even if Kelly won the special, he might have trouble holding the seat in November since it will be a couple of points more Dem, thanks to the "independent" commission drawing a Dem gerrymander.

Here is some data to frame the issue:

First, in the last general election (2010), the Democrat received 49% of the vote, the Republican 47% and the Libertarian 4%.

Second, this year there is a Green party candidate, but no Libertarian candidate.

Third, the gap between Republican and Democrat party voter registration is greater than in 2010.

Registration      2010       2012        Change

D                   140,114    133,751     -  6,363
L                       2,843        2,646      -    200
R                   159,045    159,200           155
G                         859            793     -       66
O                  124,649     128,269        3,620
T                   427,818     424,718      - 3.100

Also, Jesse Kelly is a nut who'd need a quite weak opponent to stand a chance here absent wave conditions.
