Democratic Party strategists are watching Arizona's Kari Lake with growing alarm.
Why it matters: As some see it, Lake — a 2020 election denier — could easily win the state's gubernatorial race and threaten its 2024 election processes. And with the talent she's already displayed even as a political novice, they see her potential to soar to a vice presidential spot or a post-Trump presidential candidacy.
Zoom in: Of this year's midterm elections slate of "ultra MAGA" candidates, Lake has perhaps the best chance of winning.
The polls are neck-and-neck. Some Democrats are venting frustration that Katie Hobbs is not presenting a stronger challenge to Lake. Hobbs has refused to debate Lake, which some say signals fear and amounts to "political malpractice." What they're saying: David Plouffe, the architect of Barack Obama's 2008 victory, told Axios that Lake looks like a "plausible presidential candidate."
David Axelrod, another key former Obama adviser, offered this assessment of Lake's 20+ years in Arizona local TV before her entrance last year into politics: "If you get a candidate who has the performance skills of a major market local TV anchor and the philosophy and thinking of Steve Bannon, that's a potent and dangerous combination ... Look at Italy."

Well not to defend that jerk Axelrod, but Kari Lake’s performance skills and Steve Bannon philosophy should look dangerous to you if you’re a Dumbocrat.
Hope you’re right.
Another thing that bodes well is that 99% of their their cheating occurred in Democrat controlled urban precincts.
This strategy only works on statewide races, like Governor, Senator or President, where tens of thousands of fake urban ballots can offset rural votes elsewhere in the state.
For House races, that strategy will just give them more lopsided victories in districts they would have won anyway.
No matter how bad the cheating is, I still expect massive pickups in the House.
Somehow though, we need to win these governorships in places like AZ and PA - that’s the only way to put an end to the cheating.
That is the average of multiple polls covering the past three weeks. The more recent polls have Lake up by 3.
Please God, Let it be so!!!!
They’re right. Desantis/Lake 2024

The reason Kari is so good handling the media by rubbing their nose in their gotcha questions is that she learned all their tricks working in that industry. Much like a hacker who reverses course and hacks the hacker
Yes, she knows the media from the people nside. But it’s more than that: she’s principled , courageous and not a corporate yes person. She even left the Republican Party during the Bush-McCain-Romney years because she opposed the Iraq war and the McCainiac foreign policy of the GOP in those years
Compare her to Pence who also was in the media - a talk show host before running for Congress. He has nothing original to say, never challenges media narratives , only tries to respond (weakly). And never thinks for himself outside of the party-dictated box and boundaries
Hobbs is done.
Kari and her team of conservatives are going to sweep the table.
There is a reason the old McCain camp is angry.
I disagree that polls are neck and neck - anywhere in America.
November 8, 2022 is going to be a bloodbath for the Socialist Democrats.
Time to pull out the “THAT’S RACIST” bombshell. Or she sexually assaulted someone back in grade school. The bigger the lie the better.
“They’re right. Desantis/Lake 2024”
No, Trump/Lake 2024.
“They are kooks who think the phrase “election denier” means something.”
It means they deny there was election fraud.
I hope Axelrod wets his pants!
Well. Yes. The RATs are entitled morons who live in an echo chamber.
And she is good looking.
Why is it that conservative women are always good looking?
To win, the Republican needs to be far enough ahead to be outside the “margin of cheating”.

Hot chicks aren’t bitter. They usually grew up with strong intelligent men around them that believe in freedom, hard work, and risk taking. People have something born in them, but they people you spend a lot of time with rub off on you.
It’s why many successful people have successful friends.
Just my opinion.
“Why is it that conservative women are always good looking?”
Two reasons:
1) They put in the effort to look good, which includes staying in shape. Leftist women think that’s beneath them.
2) Leftist bitterness sours their souls and it eventually seeps to the surface.
