[Arizona Carolyn]

We have some good guys here.... Actually Arizona is a pretty conservative state. A lot of California Conservatives have moved here.. of course Flagstaff is liberal as well as Tucson (Universities) and we have our kooks... we had a really weak candidate that ran against Napolitano in '02.... The other day the GOP candidate for AG was on the local radio station == I really like him and he said straight out, he'll be tough on illegals because he has seen first hand as a prosecutor the damage they are doing to our great state.

Some old local guy who is a died in the wool democrat called in (calls all the time to the station) and he proceeded to rake this guy over the coals asking tough questions, particularly about immigration and Colorado City....

When he was done he said for the first time in HIS life he was going to vote for a Republican because our current (Dem) AG hasn't been doing his job in either regard.... the radio commentator (also a dem) said at the end of the show that this guy would get his vote...

What was funny was our local State Senator (GOP, very conservative) and the candidate and the commentator were all joking about how Janet carries her veto pen wherever she goes so she can whip it out at the drop of a hat to veto anything the senate sends her on illegal immigration... they are starting to do what Arnold did in California and put these things on the ballot for November.

It sounds like SOME things may be changing for the better...but the Republicans have GOT to find someone to beat the Governor next time...and WHEN McCain loses the GOP primary..and has to go back to the Senate..

A TWO TIME loser, you have got to find someone conservative to take his place.

BTW..I heard that some of the lib sites are saying that Kyl's seat may not be secure...I am SURE they are wrong, right?
