I have happy news coming from *Arizona* re: Jon Kyl's seat (he's retiring TG)........

[jillan]

Celebrate with me!!

Edit to add - Jeff Flake scrubbed Palin's name from his endorsement list

[southernyankeebelle]

1. But isn't the idiot running for Governor?

[Raster]

2. Could he be any worse than Jan Brewer?

[southernyankeebelle]

20. I dunno, must be something in the water or some bad booze.

[jillan]

4. Jan's term isn't up yet - we still have the Bruja for 2 more years. Hard to say what will happen in

2 years!

[DonViejo]

9. Bruja loca!

Crazy witch

[hrmjustin]

14. No that idiot is running for senate.n/t

[OffWithTheirHeads]

3. I have a feeling that the Tealiban has done so much damage that Az. Could go blue.

[jillan]

6. Az voted for Clinton in 1996 - so it could happen :)

[hrmjustin]

15. With mitt on the ballot anything is possible.

[Tumbulu]

5. Incredible and wonderful!!!!!!nt

[femmocrat]

7. :woohoo: They are toppling like dominoes.....

Polls are looking good for Warren, Kaine, Sherrod Brown, the dem. candidate in CT (running against McMahon, sorry can't think of his name)! This is great news!

[freshwest]

8. Please AZ, elect Carmona! Save the state from the teabagger tyranny.

Hope those numbers hold true... And he gets at least half the undecided votes for the win!

[Zoeisright]

10. Flake - what an appropriately named repuke!

n/t

[Cha]

11. I'm so Happy for you, jillan!

I remember when Richard Carmona was behind in the polls!

And, why did Jeff Flake scrub Palin from his list of endorsements?

[Grown2Hate]

12. Was this an internet poll or something? Can't find a link. EITHER way, as an AZ resident,

color me THRILLED that we have a shot in this one! I've convinced at least 4 people at work to not only vote for President Obama, but D's down-ticket. Doing what I can!

[Jennicut]

16. It was a poll released today from a Repub friendly firm

http://www.azfamily.com/news/Poll-Carmona-leading-Flake-170432726.html

I think that makes it even sweeter.

[TroyD]

17. Cant' find it on RCP yet - hope they add it

Currently Flake is way ahead in the average, so Carmona could use some good polls in there:

[hrmjustin]

13. For joy we are blessed with great senate numbers today!

I never liked Flake because he says no to everything.

[davidpdx]

18. It would be sweet if he won

Stay cool down there in the desert.

[TroyD]

19. RCP needs to update their AZ Senate average

They've got old polls in there from May & June, one of them being an old Rasmussen poll showing Flake ahead by 16 points.

[yellowcanine]

21. Some people's names are so appropriate.....Jeff Flake.....

[TroyD]

22. Please send Bill Clinton to ARIZONA

To campaign for Carmona.

Clinton won Arizona in 1996. The only Democrat to do so in the past half-century.
