AZ-Sen: Salmon, Schweikert considering

[publicunofficial]

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.

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.

Salmon is "strongly considering" and will make a decision by early August.

Considering the going buzz was that he was not going to run previously, this sounds promising.

It's odd for him to be reconsidering now, just as Democrats land a candidate who'd love to take on the weakened winner of a bloody primary.
