In reply to the discussion: There is some serious cowardice going on here about John Kerry's seat. [View all]NAO
(3,425 posts)17. In AZ in 2009 Obama took our Democratic Gov, and we got The Grim Brewer
Because Janet Napalatano (D) was tapped by Obama for Director of Homeland Security, Lt. Gov Jan Brewer (R) became Governor of Arizona.
Democrat Terry Goddard was lined up to win in 2010, but then Brewer rolled out SB 1070, the "show me your papers" law, and became an overnight sensation. You know the rest.
All that would not have happened if Obama hadn't taken Napalatano for the DHS.
