Maybe she’s just thinking ahead. The Republicans won’t always be in power in Arizona. Would it really be wise to let some partisan leftist hack decide who the candidate should be?
Besides, there are plenty of people on the conservative side that don’t buy into the birther theories. That doesn’t mean she was “gotten to”. If they were going to “get to” her why wouldn’t they also do so over the border?
Whether you support the movement to get Obama to show his long form (I’m one who does), thinking someone was “gotten to” is the kind of thing I expect to see on DU or Alex Jones. Not FR.

The public comments made about this bill are so inaccurate that people think it does something totally opposite of what it actually does. Brewer’s comments make me wonder if she’s actually even READ the bill.
The bill actually makes FOUR gatekeepers rather than the one now: the SOS, any legal resident who challenges the SOS decision, state court, and the US Supreme Court.
The whole thing that Brewer says about not wanting there to be just one gatekeeper is sheer bunk. That is the way it is now, and it is the way it will stay because she vetoed this (unless the legislature overrides it). The bill itself would actually have created accountability for the SOS and made sure that the SOS could NOT be a political hack.
Everything they are saying about this bill is the opposite of what the bill actually is. This is so unbelievable.
