State Senator Kelli Ward forms an exploratory committee to run in 2016. Given the unlikelihood Salmon or Schweikert run and since Ward is a crazy right-wing sociopath, Run Kelli Run! Tongue


She has issues on both sides. For example, she voted against Pelosi, has a tough record on immigration and is starting to move toward the center which has slightly angered progressives, while conservatives would hit her over self-identifying as a socialist before and her past liberal voting record.

That means Salmon's out. Or perhaps was never in.

It is believed that Sinema & Kirkpatrick are waiting to see if and how their districts will be redrawn by the legislature should the Supreme Court allow it to do so. Neither will run if their seats remain in their current state or made safer, but if they get moved into an unwinnable district why not run against McCain?

In other Arizona news, Ron Barber won't seek a rematch in AZ-02 against Martha McSally.

Dang, Barber was a good candidate; are there any other Dems that could have a good chance against McSally?

Salmon and Schweikert confirm they're out, or more likely were never in. McCain is safe.

Wow. That's legitimately surprising. I'd guess that their internals showed McCain on pretty solid ground then.

Yeah. Especially Salmon, who already lost a statewide race and has a plum subcommittee chairmanship. Considering they mentioned it in January but did nothing in the 3 months since, quite expected.

McCain is basically the Republican version of Harry Reid. Many are afraid of running against him. He will probably be safe in Nov. 2016.

In the primary.

This makes me so depressed. If there's any politician I want beat, it's John McCain.

Arizona needs its own version of Rand Paul.

Republicans absolutely hate Kirkpatrick and are dying to gerrymander her seat should the court allow them to do so. With that said, Kirkpatrick is exactly the sort of person who could win statewide, because she has won and over performed in rural areas.

That's surprising, I thought Sinema was more likely. That being said, Kirkpatrick is a strong candidate.

Kirkpatrick's likely got nothing to lose, what with redistricting possibly around the corner.

Also: Sinema can afford to wait, she's still young and Arizona isn't getting redder.

Shame about AZ-1. The only way I can see her having a real chance is if a real tea party insurgent (if there are anymore of those) knocking McCain out.

Difference between this and Indiana in 2012, assuming McCain is primaried and loses, Kirkpatrick is not Joe Donnelly. She has a far-left voting record. She has voted 90% with San Fran Nan. No thanks.

However, currently Senator McCain's opponent is a chemtrail conspiracy theorist.  As of now, he's at no risk of losing renomination. Hopefully Schweikert runs.

I wonder if McCain will hit her on the chem-trail theories if she begins to become a threat

Most likely. I remember him attacking Hayworth for dabbling in birtherism.
