Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe, who is leaving office after eleven terms, will not be supporting the Republican candidate to succeed him.
Today, Kolbe, who supported state Representative Steve Huffman in the primary for the eighth Congressional district, issued a statement saying he congratulates conservative Republican Randy Graf on his victory. However, he says "there are such profound and fundamental differences" between Graf and him on several key issues that he can't endorse Graf for the general election.
Graf, a former golf pro, campaigned foremost on the need to secure the border with Mexico and put a halt to illegal immigration.

Indeed. As some have pionted out Graf won. So it can happen. With bush supporting the rino , i am pleased to see his boy go down. So to speak. If people pay attention Graf can win it all. The bush amnesty pathology is in trouble.
