McSally isn’t exactly on my Christmas card list but as opposed to Barber??? That should be a no-brainer.
Cochise County has yet to report which is why we’re not at 100% yet but it’s a pretty solid Republican county so McSally should come out ahead by a couple of thousand votes instead of the 36 she’s now leading by. Our job out here is going to be to hold her accountable which will be much easier than holding Barber (who knows he isn’t going to get our vote anyway) accountable.
I was surprised to see that Barber had an “I” next to his name. He was Gabby Gifford’s second in command after all.
It has been a bittersweet victory for me, since the wave broke on the shoals of Southern AZ. During the tea party heydey, we in north northwest, were much more involved than even Phoenix.
We are an example of the system breakdown of the moderate Repub machine. I wish big money (I am looking at you Jim Click and perhaps, the kingmakers like Bruce Ash, et al., would support conservatives, which is the true makeup of this county.
Not supporting Kwasman, when he went preemptively to Oracle to rebuff the illegal kids to be placed in the juvenile home, was also a bad move.
Looks like she did it!
